Bristol savages artists' society england
DEFINITION
Called together in Bristol, England in 1894 by a group organized by artist Ernest Ehlers, the goal was to fill a need for friendship among like-talented men. The formal organization occurred in 1904, and they have had weekly meetings between October and May, most of them at the Royal Hotel on College Green in Bristol. Exhibitions, the results of many member sketching trips together, have been ongoing with the 101st occurring in 2011. Source: Bristol Savages, http://www.bristol-savages.org/savages-history.html
