Festival of Art - Annual Summer Exhibition 2022

This event has now taken place and was a great success, thank you to all involved.

Looking forward to 2023 when we can do it all over again...

We have a wonderful and well attended annual summer exhibition held at the historic Kennaway House in Sidmouth. Artists may exhibit original artworks, unframed artworks and more recently 3D works (including sculptures). Each year a piece of work is selected for the 'Marion Ovens' award during the official opening of the exhibition and all pieces are eligible for the 'Peoples Choice' vote.

This year (2022) Members are able to submit up to five framed paintings and three unframed paintings for the browser (not prints), however the fifth framed painting will be held in reserve and must be securely packaged, wrapped and labelled.

 

Details for the 2022 Summer Exhibition...

Our 2022 exhibition took place between Friday 1st July and Wednesday 13th July. The Exhibition was a great success with lots of sales of members work. Many Thanks to all the hard work of the Exhibitions Team and Members alike.
