The Art & Craft Exhibition 2024

The Whitchurch Society are very pleased to be holding this popular annual event again, in the Whitchurch Village Hall on Manor Road, on the weekend of 23rd and 24th November.

The exhibition is open for all current residents and ex-residents of Whitchurch-on-Thames, Whitchurch Hill and Goring Heath to enter. Plus, children at local schools too. We unfortunately can’t accept entries from a wider network, but we welcome visitors from Pangbourne and surrounding areas to come and view the work of our very talented community.

There are various categories to enter – something for everyone! Our fabulous impartial judges will be awarding cups for best exhibits in Art, in Craft, in Photography and for New Media [Film & Animation]. There is also recognition for best first-time adult exhibitor and various junior age group winners too.

This year’s theme for the special Joyce Voysey prize is ‘Colours of Autumn. You are encouraged to think about how you might produce a piece of art, a craft, a photo or a video which interprets this very topical subject. Please also remember that your entries for all the main classes can be on any subject whatsoever. All entries are very welcome, but we ask that you submit no more than 6 entries per person please.

All the details about the categories, the rules and how to enter can be found here: https://wa2024.wotarts.co.uk Please download the PDF on the ‘Rules & How to enter’ tab to plan out your entries in advance.

A few dates for your diary... All hard copy entries must be registered online between Saturday 9th November & Wednesday 20th November (inclusive) on this portal. Digital entries must be sent by USB/Drive/Link by Friday 15th November to sally@wotarts.co.uk

We will be hosting an Art Café on Saturday 12th October to raise funds for this exhibition. We would love you to join us for a cup of tea, coffee and piece of cake.
