This Summer’s exhibition is by open submission and includes Painting, Drawing, Mixed Media, Photography and Textile.

Fifteen Artists and one group are represented in 37 works in the Foyer and the Sir William Blake Richmond Gallery.

While there is no overall theme this year there’s an important experience of place evident in many of the pictures shown here.

Artists this year include those who have exhibited in the Foyer already in the course of this year:

Frances Marvell-Carr; Caroline Walsh-Waring and Glyn Pitchford

and artists who will hold future shows during 2026/26:

Tara Harris; Sam Weeks; Garry Corbett and William Baldwin. 

We’re also delighted to welcome back BMI artist-in-residence, Peter Tinkler.

We warmly thank all of our exhibitors and welcome the quality and diversity of their responses.  We hope you enjoy the works on display!

The exhibition opens on Monday, 3 August and runs on to Saturday, 19 September

Meet the Artists at the Private View on Thursday 6 August, 5-8 pm.

Admission is free to all.  Most paintings on show are for sale.
