The Art & Craft Exhibition
The organising team are very pleased to announce that the next Exhibition will be held on the weekend of 28th February / 1st March 2026. The change from the usual date in mid-November was announced in a recent Whitchurch Bulletin. After much consultation, we decided to move it to the early spring, after the half-term break and when there are not so many conflicting events happening. This means of course that you will all have an extra 3 months in which to finish your entries - no excuses!!
Apart from this date change, it will be in the same format in the Whitchurch Village Hall in Manor Road, and open for all current residents and ex-residents of Whitchurch-on-Thames, Whitchurch Hill and Goring Heath to enter, and also children attending the local schools.
There are various categories - something for everyone! Our judges will be awarding cups for best exhibits in Art, in Craft, in Photography and for Film & Animation (New Media). There is also recognition for best first-time adult exhibitor, Best in Show overall, and junior winners in four age groups too.
The team are delighted to now be able to reveal that the theme for this year's Joyce Voysey prize is 'My Happy Place'. It will be fascinating to see how this subject is interpreted by you all, our creative community! Please remember that only one entry per person is permitted in this particular category.
All the information about how to enter the exhibition will be available in the coming weeks on our website at www.wotarts.co.uk and on our Facebook event page.
In the meantime, save the dates in your diaries and get busy with your... brushes, paints, camera, needles, glue, varnish, stamps, inks, wool, chisels, pliers, cottons, clay, pens, paper and lovely ideas.
We very much look forward to seeing your creations this coming Spring!
