Visual Arts & Open Studios
Our visual arts offering goes from strength to strength.
As well as providing On-line Gallery space to local artists via this website, we organise a number of exhibitions each year. Our flagship visual arts presence is our acclaimed Open Studios project which usually takes place annually in September. We also have a Winter Exhibition at Penshurst Place's Porcupine Pantry each year, which runs from mid-November to the end of December and our members have a standing invitation from Penshurst Place and Gardens which allows visual artists free entry into the formal gardens for drawing and painting. See our Art in the Garden page for more details.
We offer several regular workshops each month including Life Modelling and Portraiture, in addition to a range of one-off specialist events run by local practitioners. In the past members have participated in workshops on topics such as calligraphy, fabric dyeing, Japanese appliqué, the principles of abstract painting and many others.
Some years ago, Crowborough Arts were invited to lead a local community project to enhance the main platform of Crowborough Station. We have recently replaced the five original vintage-style Railway Posters with "Crowborough Through the Seasons". Both sets have been reproduced as sets of popular postcards. If you’re interested in purchasing one of these posters or a set of postcards please email or phone Mary Harris on 01892 653487.
