Oxmarket are delighted to once again welcome The Chichester Art Society (CAS) to both our galleries. CAS is a thriving society for local artists since its foundation in 1939. This years exhibition follows a long standing tradition of exhibitions since the first one held in 1940; open to artists of all abilities; professional and amateur - all that is required is enthusiasm and a love of art and creativity. The exhibition will be officially opened by the Mayor of Chichester at a special preview evening.
The CAS exhibition is a showcase of a wide range of contemporary and original art works including paintings in a range of mediums, prints and 3D sculptures and designs by our members. All works will be available for sale giving visitors to the exhibition an opportunity to own a unique artwork.
Members of the society will be stewarding at Oxmarket Contemporary daily should you wish to chat about the exhibition and CAS and all that is on offer throughout the year. CAS offer a programme which includes fortnightly demonstrations and talks by visiting professional artists which are often followed up by day long workshops where you are encouraged to try out new ways of expression in your own artwork inspired and led by the artist. These are stimulating, challenging and ultimately satisfying way of exploring new techniques and approaches to creating art.
CAS also offer weekly drop-in sessions Painting with Friends. These are untutored sessions where you can create artwork in a friendly and supportive environment. Theres also a summer programme of Plein-air Painting and drawing at a variety of local venues great if you ever wanted to have a go but a bit daunted about doing so on your own, always time for coffee and a friendly chat afterwards!
The Chichester Art Society Exhibition really is art for all and the members look forward to welcoming visitors and showcasing so many techniques and styles across both the galleries. A wonderful 2 week exhibition, not to be missed.
