Upcoming Exhibitions
Water : An Open Exhibition
Friday 18 April - Thursday 01 May
Submission Deadline : Thursday 17 April, 13:00 - 16:00
Our first Open Call of 2025! For this exhibition, the theme is 'Water'.
​
An exhibition featuring the liquid of life itself.
​
"Artists have always been interested in the nature of water, apart from being the very crux of life it is visually elusive and at the same time captivating. Colourless and transparent it refracts and reflects our world, presenting an altered reality to beguile us"
Submissions are now closed for this Open Call but come and visit the exhibition on show until 1st May 2025.​

Watercolour Competition & Exhibition
Friday 09 May - Thursday 22 May 2025
Submission Deadline : Thursday 08 May, 13:00 - 17:00
This year we are reintroducing our Watercolour Competition! This used to be a yearly event and exhibition conceived and sponsored by the much missed Ron Woodward.
​
There is no theme other than work needs to be rendered in a water based medium with reference to traditional watercolour technique.
That is to say with a transparent delivery, impasto acrylics would not be acceptable.
Work can be on any suitable support, paper, canvas, board etc.
Prizes will be announced in the fullness of time.
Like all our open shows there will be a £10 hanging fee for each piece and a limit of three pieces per entry.
Submissions will be on the 8th of May between 1pm and 5pm
