Abingdon Artists' Exhibitions
Abingdon Artists is committed to holding at least two exhibitions each year, one in Spring and the second in Autumn. However, we remain open to the possibility of holding additional exhibitions should opportunities arise. Currently our exhibitions are usually held either in St Helen’s Church, East St Helen St, Abingdon OX14 5BS or in Christ Church Barn, Northcourt, Abingdon OX14 1PL.
Future Exhibitions
Abingdon Artists Autumn Exhibition

at Christchurch Barn, Northcourt Road, Abingdon,OX14 1PL
How Exhibitions Work
Entry is limited to fully paid-up members of Abingdon Artists. Entry Conditions and forms are sent by email 4 weeks before the exhibition and should be returned as requested.
You are allowed:
- 3 artworks, new work not previously exhibited in an Abingdon Artists Exhibition
- 3 browser pieces
- 30 cards
Everyone entering the exhibition is encouraged to help and it is a good opportunity for new members to get involved. (Some examples of help needed: delivering flyers, putting up and taking down posters, wrapping sold paintings, putting up banners, helping to put the exhibition stands up and take them down.)
Three stewards are needed for each 3 hour session and we ask all those exhibiting to help with stewarding if they are available and are physically able to do so. A Stewarding Meeting may be held beforehand to discuss what is needed and to inform new members.
There is an Exhibition Working Group who plan each exhibition and they will contact all those they would like to help put up and take down the exhibition. Instructions are given and it usually takes about 2 to 4 hours to complete the set up and take down.
Artists must deliver their work and pick up unsold work at the specified time.
There is a commission of 12% to Abingdon Artists to cover expenses and the SumUP card reader. You will be sent the money for any sales (minus the 12%) by the Treasurer after the exhibition.
There is usually a 'Artists' Evening' the evening before the opening for members and spouse/friend.
The exhibition is a good opportunity to meet other artists, see their work and feel part of an artistic community.
