What's On

​Firstly, thank you to everyone again for making the Combe Down Art Trail such a successful weekend. Visitors, artists, venues, sponsors: We couldn't have done any of it without you!
But just because the 2019 Art Trail is done and dusted, doesn't mean we're not looking to the future - and there's plenty going on...
Set a date in your diary: Next year's Art Trail will take place on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September with the submission form going live in March.

But in the meantime, if you happen to find yourself in the Royal United Hospital (hopefully just visiting!) the Bath Open Studios Exhibition is taking place from 1st October - 16th January. All five Bath art trails are taking part with over 30 paintings from our own Combe Down artists. A third of sales raise funds for the RUH's Art at the Heart programme, which enhances the hospital environment and improves the experience for patients, visitors and staff.

We're delighted to  announce Shuya Cheng and Sally Muir both have had work accepted in the prestigious RWA Open Exhibition in Bristol. Congratulations! The exhibition showcases art from emerging and established artists and runs from the 29th September - 1st December.

If you enjoyed the workshops offered on our art trail, maybe you want to start or improve on a new artistic skill - or practice an existing one. Combe Down has lots of art clubs going on...
