Ribchester Art Club’s annual exhibition showcases vibrant local talent on August Bank Holiday weekend
The Ribchester Art Club is preparing to open its doors for its annual summer exhibition. Running on Sunday, August 30, and Monday, August 31, the event will take place at the St Peter and St Paul's Parish Centre on Stydd Lane, Ribchester.
Open from 10am to 4pm both days, the exhibition is a well known feature in the Ribble Valley's cultural calendar, offering a relaxed outing for anyone interested in the local art scene. This year, the club’s 35 active members are set to display a collection of around 200 original artworks. Visitors can expect a very diverse collection of high quality work, with pieces ranging from large-scale abstracts to intricate, small 3D sculptures, from traditional representational works in oils and watercolours to contemporary mixed media.
Locals will particularly enjoy the many pieces capturing the beauty of the surrounding region. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to obtain original, one-of-a-kind art directly from emerging local artists, but also offers more affordable small works such as cards, prints, and unframed pieces. Because you are buying directly from the makers, the prices are realistic.
There is free parking available on-site, making it easy to drop by. Refreshments will be served throughout both days, and there is a raffle to help raise funds for the club's educational programme and equipment. There is no entry charge.
