Isle of Wight Art

Quay Arts have announced the winner of their 2017 Open Exhibition - the chosen artist picking up the prize of a solo exhibition in the West Gallery in 2019.

The eight fully-established, award-winning artists based at Binnel Studios in St Lawrence invite you to their third summer exhibition between 26-28 August 2017. Highly recommended if you appreciate world-class quality.

The launch event of the 2017 Ryde Arts Festival features the private view of an exhibition, a performance from dancer, Sophie Wintersgill, alongside live music from a string quartet, as well as the re-creation of the ‘Smashing Performance’ shown at the Saatchi Gallery by Sue Pareskeva.

The two Isle of Wight carnival companies will benefit for a whopping £500,000 of Arts Council funding.

As part of the excellent Ryde Arts Festival and GROW project, four artists come together to share their work exploring social integration and circular economy.

Isle of Wight artist, Tony Feld has been shortlisted for the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation’s (DSWF) Wildlife Artist of the Year award.

Isle of Wight photographers have donated their shots and Ztam have donated time, materials and a great deal of effort to the Big Art Auction for St Helens School. Bidding runs until 8pm on 31st May.

In a multi-media lecture combining photographs, film, songs, and quotations from writers and poets Libby Horner offers a kaleidoscopic view of the cars and characters involved in the Mille Miglia race.

Any young person (age 18‐30 years) interested in working in the arts – performance, music, writing, dance – is encouraged to apply for one of this year’s Mike Howley Trust grants to help realise their creative ambitions.

Calling all artists! The Quay Arts Open 2017 competition is now open for submissions. Don't miss the May deadline to enter.

There was a great turnout for the launch of the Richard Long show at Quay Arts last weekend. There is still plenty of time to visit the exhibition and take part in the many associated activities over the coming weeks and months.
