Water : Open Call
Friday 18 April - Thursday 01 May
Submission Deadline : Thursday 17 April, 13:00 - 16:00
Our first Open Call of 2025! For this exhibition, the theme is 'Water'.
​
"Artists have always been interested in the nature of water, apart from being the very crux of life it is visually elusive and at the same time captivating. Colourless and transparent it refracts and reflects our world, presenting an altered reality to beguile us"
​
We hope to see paintings, photographs, drawings and more! Perhaps of the sea, rain, rivers, baths and tears - people in water, on water - let your imagination flow..
​
Submissions will be accepted at Beach Creative on Thursday 17 April between 13:00 - 16:00.
​
Hanging Fee : £10 per piece

Watercolour Competition & Exhibition
Friday 09 May - Thursday 22 May 2025
Submission Deadline : Thursday 08 May, 13:00 - 17:00
This year we are reintroducing our Watercolour Competition! This used to be a yearly event and exhibition conceived and sponsored by the much missed Ron Woodward.
​
There is no theme other than work needs to be rendered in a water based medium with reference to traditional watercolour technique.
That is to say with a transparent delivery, impasto acrylics would not be acceptable.
Work can be on any suitable support, paper, canvas, board etc.
Prizes will be announced in the fullness of time.
Like all our open shows there will be a £10 hanging fee for each piece and a limit of three pieces per entry.
Submissions will be on the 8th of May between 1pm and 5pm
