We are excited to welcome back the Moving Art exhibition at the Robert Phillips Gallery at Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre in Walton-on-Thames from Wednesday 25 September to Sunday 20 October. This year's exhibition promises to be an amazing showcase of creativity.
Launched in 2017, Moving Art is a collaborative project between Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre, Elmbridge Borough Council, and The R C Sherriff Trust. This biennial event highlights the incredible talent of artists who either live in Elmbridge or have connections to local arts organisations.
This year, the exhibition features 69 local artists, each bringing their unique flair to the exhibition. From emerging talent to established names, visitors can expect a wide array of artworks ranging from oil paintings and watercolours to stunning sculptures and photography. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the creativity existing within our community!
You can delve deeper into each artist's inspiration and creative process, as information about them and their works can be found at elmbridgemovingart.org. Most of the artworks will also be available for sale, making it a perfect opportunity to take home a slice of local artistic talent as a keepsake.
