The Cambridge Drawing Society warmly invites you to its Spring Exhibition 2026 at the historic Pitt Building on Trumpington Street, Cambridge.

Open to the public from Saturday, 18 April to Saturday, 25 April 2026, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm daily, the exhibition will showcase over 400 original artworks across a wide range of media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture. Visitors will also find a wonderful selection of greeting cards.

The exhibition begins with an exclusive Private View for artists, Friends of the Society, and collectors, by invitation only. This special opening evening offers a wonderful opportunity to meet artists and collectors in an elegant and relaxed setting before the exhibition opens to the wider public.

From 18 April onwards, everyone is welcome to explore the exhibition, discover new favourites, and chat with some of the artists. The wide variety of work on display, from vivid landscapes and delicate drawings to thought-provoking contemporary pieces, ensures that both seasoned collectors and curious newcomers will find something to enjoy.
