February saw our first show of 2011 – The Third Thursday Event. Thanks to Suzanne and everyone from Jelly who helped make this possible. We loved having our very own shop for a few weeks.

May was the annual Caversham Arts Trail with 16 venues and 32 local artists taking part in our annual arts trail. We had excellent visitor numbers and are already busy planning the trail for 2012.

September was our autumn show at Caversham Court Gardens. This was our first outdoor show which we did enjoy, despite the unpredictable autumn weather.

October & November we had a Caversham Artists show at More Arts Twyford.

Here are a few images from the show just after set up and our opening reception on 1st December.

You are welcome to browse, there is no obligation to buy. It’s free admission so you can come back as many times as you want until we close at 5pm on 6th December.

The full address is The Old Fire Station Gallery, Market Place, Henley on Thames, RG9 2AG. There is a pay and display car park almost opposite and the gallery is situated just behind the Town Hall. Look out for the red ‘Exhibition’ Sign outside.

Visit us from 4pm-8pm Fridays and between 12-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays including 27th November.

See a preview of the show below.  Some items that have been purchased have already been collected so we’ve added new stock from a few participating artists. The full address is 20 Station Road, Twyford, RG10 9NT. It’s very close to the train station and there is parking nearby.

Don’t forget to put our Christmas show in your diary too. We will be at The Old Fire Station Gallery in Henley on Thames from 1st-6th December. There are over 20 artists and guest artists taking part.

See more images of our event here.
