Artweek in Abingdon


Artweeks has come to Abingdon. One venue is St Ethelwolds House.

Looking at the website https://www.artweeks.org/festival, there are twelve venues in Abingdon, and lots more in Radley, Drayton, Sunningwell and further afield.

We visited Caroline Harber and Sandra Hoeft’s exhibition at St Ethelwolds House.

The garden room also has a view out onto the garden

Today there was also a plant sale and teas.

Abingdon Artists’ Spring Exhibition


The Abingdon Artists’ Spring Exhibition 2022 runs from Monday 21st March – Saturday 26th March in St Helen’s Church, West St Helen Street.

The exhibition features up to three works from lots of different Abingdon Artists.

Here for example are three by my wife, who is exhibiting for the first time, next to three Abingdon scenes by Clair Cross, who is very well known.

House and Home – A celebration of community


At St Ethelwold’s House over the last week there has been an exhibition called ‘House and Home – A celebration of community’.
From what I can gather, talking to somebody there, the houses have been made by students and staff from seven different local schools. 
Radley College is behind the project and will be showing the houses in their state of the art gallery.

Thankyou to Anne and Peter for letting me know and for some of the pictures.

Abingdon Artists Autumn Art Exhibition


The Abingdon Artists autumn Art Exhibition can be visited from Tuesday 26th to Saturday 30th October at the barn at Christchurch on Northcourt Road, Abingdon.

The Abingdon Artists meet on a Tuesday afternoon, for anyone who wants to paint,  at the nearby hall at Christchurch. The group usually has between 16 and 20 regular painters. There is also have a quick draw group who rendezvous at an out of doors location.

The exhibition includes a fine cornucopia of paintings and cards for sale.

A red dot means somebody has beaten you to buy the piece you wanted. You will need to get there earlier next time!
