Clifton Arts Club 109th Summer Open Exhibition

Date: Saturday, Aug 4 2018 - Sunday, Aug 19 2018
Venue: Victoria Methodist Church

Annual Summer Open Exhibition for this historic artists’ collective.

The exhibition will showcase paintings, ceramics, sculpture and digital works, by a diverse range of artists, from across the south-west. Early ‘Open’ exhibitions included works by Monet, Matisse, Vanessa Bell, and Winifred Nicholson.

With over 400 pieces on show, emerging artists are displayed alongside professionals, award winners, club members and non-members. All works are for sale.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Clifton Arts Club was founded in 1906 by four artists, who later became academicians of what then became the Royal West of England Academy, with the first president Jacques Emile Blanche having been a pupil of Manet.

Despite Clifton Arts Club’s long and illustrious heritage, the annual exhibition works to highlight the constantly evolving nature of the club through the display of contemporary pieces alongside more traditional. The variety and quality of work promises to engage and inspire all visitors – everybody is welcome, and entrance is Free.

Aug 4-19, The Undercroft, Victoria Methodist Church, 1 Whiteladies Road, BS8 1NU (next to the Royal West of England Academy).
Mon-Sat 11am-6.30pm / Sun 5 & Sun 12 11am-5pm / Sun 19 11am-1.30pm.

Free admission. For more info, visit www.cliftonartsclub.co.uk
