Exmouth Art Group's 78th Annual Exhibition at Ocean in October 2024 - don't miss it!

More Information (Radio Exe is not responsible for external websites)

Exmouth’s highly respected Art Group is busy preparing for their 78th annual exhibition, being held in the beautiful Ocean Suite at Ocean on Exmouth Seafront, EX8 2AY, displaying a wide range of artwork in all mediums and styles, and supporting the RNLI in its 200th year. It will run from Thursday 10 October to Monday 21 October, 10am to 5pm daily.

The yearly event rejoices in the vast array of skill and talent from the group’s members and have invited Exmouth Ceramic Group to return as well as the brilliant Exmouth Community College Art students, ensuring a wide variety of artwork is available to view and buy. Digital art will also be on display in the bar with the option to purchase prints.

Locals and tourists alike enjoy coming to the show, and all visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite piece and to enter the raffle prize draw.

Last year’s public vote winner, local and internationally acclaimed artist, Rebecca de Mendonça, has chosen the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) who are celebrating their 200th anniversary in 2024, to be the beneficiary charity from the raffle. Rebecca is donating an original artwork entitled ‘Evening in the Cove’ as the top raffle prize, alongside other hampers and goodies.

The guest judge for this year’s exhibition is Hannah Twine, a professional artist and tutor based in Devon. Hannah says, “it is an honour to be asked to judge this year’s event and I very much look forward to having an early chance to see the variety of art that the members will exhibit.”

The 2nd floor bar will be open during 11am – 3pm each day of the event to enable visitors to linger for longer with tasty food and refreshing beverages.

The Art Group welcomes new members at any point, via their website or in person at the exhibition. The website also features a gallery where people can view examples of work by some of the members.

Art Group president, Doug Gilding, is very proud of the work being produced for the show, summing up that it “provides a fantastic opportunity to purchase original art, either from professional artists or from our talented Art Group members, at low prices; the Group takes less than half the commission of commercial galleries which is reflected in the sale prices. All monies received from the raffle will go to the RNLI this year.”

The exhibition runs from Thursday 10 October to Sunday 21 October inclusive, 10am to 5pm, at Ocean (2nd floor, lift available).
