ABOUT WESTOW ART EXHIBITION

The Westow Art Exhibition is in it's 19th year.

It all started back in 2006 in the old Westow Village Hall,

as a summer project for a teenager (Sarah)

The exhibition soon outgrew the space, and moved to Westow Cricket Pavilion in 2017 upon its completion.​

​

Since the Art Exhibition started, we have raised over £7,000 for

local causes.  Including Westow Village Hall, followed by helping with the building of the new cricket club pavilion / community building plus donations to various cancer charities. 

​

In 2024, we raised £642 which enabled us to purchase a portable defibrillator for the Westow Cricket Club Community Pavilion. Which is now in place and accessible to people using 

the cricket ground and community pavilion. 

​​

Over the years, over 3,000 people have attended and with an 

excess of 1,500 exhibits entered.

We are hoping 2024 will be the best one yet.

​​

Back in 2020 we launched this website to enable our community to not only see this years exhibits online, but also purchase artwork for sale during the event and for a whole month after.  This is proving popular.

Our hope that one day the website would not just be for the exhibition, but work as a community hub and celebration of our

local artists, has made small steps in the right direction.

Watch this space over the coming months.

​

​Money raised at the 2024 art exhibition will be used to start a 'Westow Art Exhibition Community Fund'.

This will be used to help local community events and projects,

as well as give money to charities.
