Exhibitions and Other News
Our Autumn Exhibition Sep 30th to Oct 5th 2024 was held in the Victoria Hall in Oakham High Street when three artworks were sold during a period of rather low footfall.
Our Exhibition held 14th - 24th May at Stamford Arts Centre involved nearly a hundred artwork entries and we were quite pleased that 6 sold over the fortnight.

Peter Barker RSMA (see further below) gave another Demonstration at our art session on Monday 15th April 2024 and demonstrated in oils his incredible expertise, this time a sunny country lane summer scene in the Stamford area. Guests were welcomed at £3 each.
Our 2023 exhibition in Stamford Arts Centre’s main gallery was held for two weeks in July when we displayed 109 artworks by 19 of our then 23 members. This is our premier venue for displaying our members’ works and usually attracts the largest footfall, however as the centre’s cafe was still closed at that time, footfall and therefore sales were well down on previous exhibitions there.
In March 2023 we mounted an Exhibition in the Victoria Hall in Oakham High Street for a week when again most of the 70 artworks were for sale at reasonable prices, well below a hundred pounds.
Occasionally we have local artists run demonstration sessions, and in November 2018 we engaged Peter Barker RSMA of Uppingham to paint in oils a winter frosty scene of a bend on the River Welland with rural fields, trees and telegraph poles in the misty background (see photos on this page).
