Ribchester Art Club Showcases Vibrant Local Talent on August Bank Holiday Weekend

The Ribchester Art Club is preparing to open its doors for its annual summer exhibition. The exhibition is a well known feature in the Ribble Valley’s cultural calendar, offering a relaxed outing for anyone interested in the local art scene. This year, the club’s 35 active members are set to display a collection of around 200 original artworks. Visitors can expect a very diverse collection of high quality work, with pieces ranging from large-scale abstracts to intricate, small 3D sculptures, from traditional representational works in oils and watercolours to contemporary mixed media.

Locals will particularly enjoy the many pieces capturing the beauty of the surrounding region.The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to obtain original, one-of-a-kind art directly from emerging local artists, but also offers more affordable small works such as cards, prints, and unframed pieces. Because you are buying directly from the makers, the prices are realistic.

The exhibition is a friendly, casual event where visitors can browse at their own pace. There is free parking available on-site, making it easy to drop by. Refreshments will be served throughout both days, and there is a raffle to help raise funds for the club’s educational programme and equipment. There is no entry charge.

Details can be found on the official Ribchester Art Club website. Everyone is welcome to drop in, look around, and support local makers. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate local creativity and take home a piece of the Ribble Valley!
