West Sussex Art Society Annual Show

West Sussex Art Society Annual Show is back at Colonnade House, offering visitors the chance to see artwork produced by the society members, plus the opportunity to buy original pieces and to find out more about WSAS.

95 years ago a group of artists founded the Worthing and District Sketch Club, which over the years has evolved into the West Sussex Art Society, drawing members from across the County. This community of Sussex artists continues to grow, meeting once a month for talks, workshops and demonstrations by visiting artists, scholars and authors. The meetings are always a great opportunity to learn, meet new creative friends, discuss work and talk all things art!

The membership is made up of a wide cross section of artists, including professional, semi-professional and accomplished part time artists. Members work in an array of mediums, both 2D and 3D, with equally varied subject matter. Each year the Annual Show includes approximately 100 pieces of art by WSAS Members, filling both Colonnade Galleries with the variety and quality of original artwork visitors have come to expect.

At this years Annual Show, West Sussex Art Society have 26 exhibiting artists, showing oil and acrylic paintings, textile artwork, ceramics, sculpture and drawings.  There will be over 80 artworks on display, nearly 100 unframed pieces to browse,  200 greeting cards and 23 small artworks in the WSAS Miniature Gallery. 
 
West Sussex Art Society are pleased to announce that their guest judge this year is Marcus Finch BA, West Sussex Artist and Tutor. Marcus will be a familiar name to many, whether through his exhibited artworks, life class tuition or art demonstrations.  WSAS look forward to welcoming Marcus to Colonnade House to judge the Best Artwork in Show and award the Juliet Pannett Rose Bowl to the successful artist, plus three highly commended places. 

Exhibiting Art Society members will steward the Show and look forward to meeting visitors.

Keep an eye on WSAS social media for more updates.
