It gives me great pleasure to announce The Friends of Holland Park Art Exhibition 2023, for which artist registration opens on

1 December 2022.  Last Spring we had an extremely successful exhibition, and I am keen to continue to build on that. The enthusiasm displayed by our artists and visitors reinforced my feeling that the exhibition has become an important part of our community.

I always try to improve the exhibition and promote the rich creativity that artists brings to each show. Next year, the winner of one of the judged categories will be selected as Feature Artist for the following year’s exhibition. This will connect the years and give the artist ample time to prepare work to be displayed on the Feature Artist panel.  We are extremely fortunate to have The Orangery for our nine-day exhibition. It is a beautiful space to showcase our artists as well as raising money for our charity.

The conditions of entry are as before: Friends who are artists, and artists who become Friends, are invited to exhibit up to ten works: two framed works to hang on the walls, and up to eight unframed works for display in the browser stands, the latter with a maximum size of 70cm x 100cm (including card mounts, but no wooden mounts). Friends are also invited to exhibit up to ten three-dimensional objects such as ceramics, glassware and small sculptures, or enter the mini-market of small works on offer at £40 and under. This includes cards and craft items. The minimum sale price for works in the main exhibition will be £50.

Friends interested in exhibiting in the art exhibition, the Mini-Market, or both, need to register and pay £15 entry fee before they receive the artist exhibit forms. The easiest way to register and pay is online HERE on our website.  REGISTRATION OPENS on 1 DECEMBER. Artists who have registered for the main exhibition may include works in the Mini-Market at no additional cost. Please register as soon as possible, as space is limited.

Information about the exhibition is available here on the website or from me, Gordon French, 19 Kensington Court Place London W8 5BJ; telephone 020 7937 7222; email:  [email protected]  All the information regarding the 2023 exhibition, Feature Artist and sponsorship will be detailed at the end of February.  

Art in the Park is the 1st Saturday in August from 9a-4p in beautiful Centennial Park, Holland, MI. The event is the main fundraiser for Holland Friends of Art, a non-profit, dedicated to supporting the local arts. Fine arts, food, and craftsmen gather to this well-established venue.
