Exhibitions

The UK Artists annual exhibition is the highlight of our year and is held in various locations.
This year we will be exhibiting in the All Saints Parish Church, Leamington Spa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Join us at All Saints Parish Church in picturesque Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, as we proudly present the UK Artists Exhibition 2023, a celebration of artistic talent from local and UK-wide artists alike.

Dates: Wed September 20th to Sat September 30th Time: 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Set within the hallowed halls of the All Saints Church, this exhibition is a visual spectacle where tradition meets innovation. As the sun streams through the stained glass windows, it casts a warm, ethereal glow upon the awe-inspiring Gothic architecture, enhancing the beauty of each artwork.

Each piece tells a story, evokes emotion, and transports you into the artist's world. It's a journey through landscapes, abstract realms, and the depths of human expression.

But that's not all. The UK Artists Exhibition 2023 culminates in the much-anticipated annual prize-giving show where UK Artists' members are recognized and celebrated for their exceptional contributions to the world of art.

The 'Meet the Artists' Event is on Saturday 23rd September from 2pm to 4pm with prize-giving at 3pm. Curator and artist Tammy Woodrow and painter Mo Enright will judge the show. Local musician and singer Abi Rowberry will entertain while you browse the art and chat with the artists.

This event is not just for art connoisseurs; it's for everyone who seeks inspiration and a taste of the extraordinary. Bring your friends, family, and even your curiosity, because art knows no boundaries, and at All Saints Church, everyone is welcome.

Mark your calendars and prepare to be captivated by the UK Artists Exhibition 2023 at the All Saints Church in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. All art is for sale. Visitors to the exhibition may choose their favourite artworks in the 'People's Prize' competition with a chance to win a voucher, kindly donated by Aubrey Allen, Leamington.
