Sixth Annual Art and Sculpture Exhibition held at Thames Chase.

Thames Chase 6th annual art exhibition promises an exciting live and virtual arts and culture event.

On 1st September 2022, Thames Chase launch their 6th annual art exhibition celebrating
Thames Chase Community Artists. The exhibited work will appear on our website along with the brochure for visitors to explore and enjoy, alongside. The show will feature a wide range of artworks inspired by the Rediscovery of the Forest following two years of social restrictions. Running from September 1st – 11th in the historic buildings of the Thames Chase Forest Centre, the exhibition will also include artwork from the children’s art competition.
As Penny Morgan, the curator of the exhibition comments, “’We are very excited to be delivering our 6th Annual Arts event this year and delighted to welcome in excess of 25 artists displaying their work. We love to continuously evolve the exhibition, and this year it really has grown bigger and better for all our guests. We aim to make our arts and culture event accessible and enjoyable for all especially our young artists. Please do take the opportunity to view and even purchase a piece of this incredible exhibition.”
The 6th annual exhibition will include a large number of original artworks or sculptures on display showcasing the very best local professional and up and coming artists, on a wide stage. All the pieces featured will be offered for sale, with prices from £10 to £2,000 offering a unique opportunity to purchase a bespoke piece of art and support artists within the local community.
Mary Wright, Thames Chase Trust Co-chair says: ‘It is very exciting to be celebrating with so many local artists. This 6th year of the exhibition will display the extensive local artistic talent to a wide audience and hopefully inspire those living in and around the Community Forest to investigate their inner talent. The children’s Art Competition is truly inspiring and show real talent for the future’
Alongside the art exhibition will be the announcement of the winners of the Children’s Art Competition, judged by the artists. The children’s art competition has allowed children to show what they love about forests across the Community Forest, expressed in a medium of their choice.
Trustee Mary Wright says “Using art to inspire the next generation to understand and appreciate the world around them will help to ensure that they respect and take care of the landscape and continue to protect the environment”.
