South West Academy Open Exhibition 2025

The South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts is a society promoting fine art across the south west of England. (The clue is in the name.) They have an annual open exhibition at Kennaway House in Sidmouth, Devon, a really lovely seaside town. This is the second year I’ve taken part. It’s always an interesting and varied exhibition and the town itself is gorgeous, especially on an autumn evening.

I entered “All the Things You Are”.

A drawing of a woman in profile, wearing a jacket with a hood, tangled hair, looking downwards, deep in thought.

I enjoyed seeing some fellow SGFA artists there.

Sue Side and I always seem to be picture neighbours, which is no bad thing.

Two pencil pencil drawings, framed, one of the profile of a woman, looking downwards, deep in thought. The other picture is of a girl, looking away, chin resting on her hand.

The exhibition is over now unfortunately but there’s an online catalogue that’s still available.
