Warwickshire’s biggest art show is here

The 13th Warwickshire Open Studios, now an annual event, festures the work of more than 300 artists at 198 different venues in and around Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth, Stratford, Rugby, Nuneaton, Shipston on Stour and Coventry.

Visitors can go to as many of the exhibitions as they like, with media including painting, printmaking, pottery, photography, sculpture, installation work and much more. Those contributing include amateur and professional artists who work on an individual basis, as well as members of various art groups around the county.

Many artists will be hosting their own displays and ready to speak to people about their work, while some will offer workshops and stage demonstrations.

Among those taking part this year are 18 members of the Warwickshire Artists group, whose exhibition is on at Arnold Lodge School in Kenilworth Road, Leamington.

Visitors will be invited to follow an arts trail around the school and in its grounds, with pieces including drawing, mixed media, painting, photography, print, sculpture, textiles and tapestry. All works are also for sale.

To find out more about the group, call member Grace Newman on 770924 or visit warwickshireopenstudios.org/artistsevents/warwickshire-artists-exhibition
