Selected Exhibition

Each March/April our main exhibition takes place. In recent years it has been held at The Pitt Building on Trumpington Street, Cambridge.

The works exhibited are chosen by a Selection Committee of nine members of the Society chaired by the President. The Spring Exhibition is intended to provide an opportunity for new members to join the Society, exhibiting alongside existing members.

Members' Exhibition

A Members' only exhibition is held in the Autumn, generally at the Leys School on Trumpington Road, Cambridge.

The Autumn exhibition is not subject to selection.

Our exhibitions feature a very wide selection of paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and mixed media works. - Please note we do not accept photographic reproductions or digital art.
