YEOVIL ART GROUP EXHIBITION and OPEN DAY

30 May 2026

YAG EXHIBITION and OPEN DAY IIN 2026

RESERVE SATURDAY 30TH MAY in your diaries!

Calling all YEOVIL ART GROUP members!

With regard to Exhibitions, your committee has decided to try a new tack this year. 

Every Monday afternoon, many of you come to Birchfield Community Hall to practice your painting and drawing skills, relax and chat with fellow artists in a convivial atmosphere. It is where our exhibition stands are stored and where we watch demonstrations.  So Birchfield Hall is where we plan to hold our next Exhibition and Open Day in 2026!

All day on Saturday, 30th May, your unique works of art, whether they be drawings, paintings, sculptures, or greeting cards, will be displayed for visitors to see what we get up to at Birchfield Hall every week. There will be a biography about each exhibitor for the interest of our visitors, who will be able to vote for their favourite painting or other work.

From our familiar kitchen, visitors will be able to buy the delicious home-made cakes that we are now noted for with tea, coffee - or squash, if the weather is hot.  We hope our members will help out with their terrific cakes and serving again, as they have done so generously in past exhibitions.

Although the area is admittedly not known for having a secret cache of art connoisseurs, there will be a great deal of advance publicity for the event in and around Yeovil and in the local media!  Yeovil town covers a large area and is surrounded by some beautiful and very well-heeled villages, so we will do our best to direct any art-lovers towards Birchfield Hall!

This prior notice will, we hope, galvanise our talented artist members to start painting and producing their exhibits, framed and presented to our usual high standards, ready for the 30th May.   Rules and Entry Forms will be sent out to all members in early April. Because this is as much an Open Day as an Exhibition, there will be room to display several pieces per artist and there will be no entry fee!  Ideally, all works for sale will be available at affordable prices, and we will take no commission if you are lucky enough to sell. 

Should you need more information before then, our Exhibition Co-ordinator, Liz Webster, will be more than happy to help you.  You can contact her either on a Monday afternoon or by email at: [email protected].
