Our annual members’ shows give all our artist members the opportunity to exhibit one or two pieces of their work. Historically, a large variety of media, styles and approaches are demonstrated within these shows.

Our members range from renowned professional artists who have already developed a following, to artists at an earlier stage of their artistic journey. These exhibitions offer the former the opportunity to show a couple of pieces reflecting their current work without having to prepare an all-encompassing exhibition and it gives the latter the opportunity to introduce themselves.

The exhibition will show the range of work currently being undertaken by selected artists and makers who use Surrealism, even if unconsciously, as a basis for their ideas and intentions. Few artists today would describe themselves as a Surrealist and yet may well acknowledge elements of Surrealism in their work.

All work will incorporate the essence of the unexpected with elements that have a thought provoking take on reality.

Curated by artist Jo Welsh the exhibition includes works by Brian Catling RA, Gus Cummins RA, Kathleen Fox, Jane Hoodless, Antony Penrose, Katherine Reekie, Jo Redpath, Tim Riddihough, Mick Rooney RA and Jacob Welsh.
