Programme of 2025/26
Kineton Art Group’s annual Art Exhibition and Sale of Paintings will be held on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th May 2026 at Kineton Village Hall, Mill Street, Kineton, Warwickshire CV35 0LB.
This will be our only exhibition this year so be sure to put the date in your diary. Entrance is free and doors will be open from 10.00 am until 4.00 pm each day.
There will be a wide range of original artworks, prints and greetings cards at affordable prices. This lovely, informal exhibition offers lots to enjoy including live music. Home-made cakes and other refreshments will be available. For further information see our website, http://www.kinetonartgroup.com
Based in the village of Kineton in South Warwickshire, Kineton Art Group started as a small group of half a dozen friends meeting in each other’s houses and has now grown to over 75 members which meet every Monday (bar Bank Holidays) in Kineton Village Hall with both afternoon and evening sessions.
Most members paint in watercolours, acrylics or oils but there are several who create works of art from embroidery, jewelled pieces, collages and silk transfers. There is no formal instruction at sessions but several times a year we have visiting artists who demonstrate or give workshops in their particular techniques and forms of art. Recently we have had demonstrations on oils, seascapes in watercolour, cyanotype printing, wool art and handmade paper and whole day workshops on watercolours and acrylic, willow weaving, portraits in oils, drawing and mixed media.
So expect a dazzlingly varied choice of artworks at our May Exhibition.
Kineton Art Group is always delighted to welcome new members no matter what your experience, from complete beginners to established artists. Membership costs £35 per annum from September to August. You can get details of how to join and your free taster session via email at kag.membership.enq@gmail.com . We look forward to welcoming you at Kineton Art Group, whether as a member or as a visitor to our lovely exhibition!

Jacqui Smithson Workshop
Here are some photos from a wonderful day in April, working with Jacqui Smithson!
Sarais Crawshaw Workshop
Following on from a very popular demonstration of her wildlife pastels earlier in the year, we were fortunate enough to have Sarais Crawshaw back this weekend to share her pastel expertise in a much-anticipated workshop for KAG members.
Sarais is a full time artist specialising in wildlife and the countryside. Much of her art is based on her love of British wildlife and she is Chairwoman of The Wildlife Arts Society International (TWASI). We were able to benefit from this in-depth knowledge in our own renditions of animal life – (wild and otherwise!) and were all delighted with the results of our day. It was a wonderful opportunity to spend a few hours devoted to art and in the company of fellow artists.
KAG’s Demonstrations and Workshops for 2024 will be published soon.
