Tomorrow, Sunday 10th October 2021 is the final day of ARTWORKS 21st Annual Exhibition!

The last two weeks have flown by and we have been much heartened by everyone who has visited the exhibition in these unsettled times & we thank you for your support.

We are open tomorrow (Sunday) from 10am to 5pm. However, a visit before 2pm is advised to enjoy the exhibition in its entirety. A browse through each artist’s ‘browser rack’ is recommended in addition to the Artworks shop for small artworks & art cards – unique & original gifts for friends & loved ones.

We hope you have enjoyed the addition of five new guest artists this year – Louise Chapman, Antonia Hockton, Iona Howard, Evelyn Polk and Laurie Rudling – who were all originally selected in early 2020 and stayed with us after last year’s exhibition was cancelled – their artwork has undoubtedly contributed to the vitality & verve of this year’s exhibition.

Just a reminder, ARTWORKS is at the splendid Blackthorpe Barn in Rougham, Suffolk, IP30 9HZ. Follow the yellow AA signs from Junction 45 of the A14, or use SatNav IP30 9HZ. The exhibition venue Blackthorpe Barn is on ground level with easy access, free parking for all visitors.

All work in the exhibition is for sale. Payment can be made by cash or major credit/debit cards. Art buyers can collect their exhibition purchases from 4pm on Sunday (remember to bring your receipt). We have two teams to assist on the final day, on the sales desk and in the packing/collection area.

Lastly, although the Artworks exhibition is now drawing to a close, we encourage you follow the ARTWORKS website blog to receive regular news straight into your email inbox! Alternatively, follow @artworkseast on Instagram for an informal mix of pictures, artist news & other updates.

Visitors to ARTWORKS in 2021 will once again have the opportunity to meet many of the the artists in the exhibition, with a selected artist setting up a mini desk ’studio’ or work area in the main thatched barn each day.

As each artist creates their art differently, the content & structure of each MTA day will vary – it may not be practically possible to demonstrate all art techniques. However, it is fabulous opportunity to get an insight into how an artist works.
