ArtHouse

In 2012 SCA opened The ArtHouse on Eastbank St. in Southport. This has provided a regular showcase for work via frequent exhibitions and opportunities for the community to engage our events.

 

The establishment of a permanent space for SCA has been invaluable for local artists.  The provision of an exhibition space and workshop/studios has helped all of Southport’s creative communities develop and grow.

Exhibitions at ArtHouse


We host regular Exhibitions at ArtHouse, with a wide variety of different Artists looking to show case their work in either solo shows, or as part of our various group shows.   They are sometimes themed and occasionally may be restricted to certain art media.

 

Open exhibitions welcome entries from all local artists.  Exhibitions are publicised and most have a 'preview' evening.  If you wish to take part in an Open Exhibition please contact us - arthousesca@gmail.com

 

The whole gallery space at ArtHouse can be hired by an artist/group. The gallery is available at a very competetive rate of £50 per week, with a 30% commission on sales.  Forms can be down loaded from GALLERY HIRE AGREEMENT

 

If you are interested in hiring the Gallery for an exhibition, either as a solo artist or as a collective, you should discuss your requirements with the Gallery Manager, Norrie-Beswick Calvert. You can arrange a meeting by email to - arthousesca@gmail.com

"From our world" 

One Step On Textile Art

8th - 26th September

A friendly and informal group, living in the North-West, who have a
variety of qualifications and experience of textiles. We meet once a month to share ideas, techniques, and discuss projects.


Key aims of thegroup are to exhibit members’ work and to promote
textile art.


We organise occasional workshops with external tutors to develop our
work. The different interpretations of contemporary and traditional, and
the variety of techniques produced by group members, stimulates much discussion and support at our meetings.


As an exhibiting group there is a continuing impetus to explore and create new work. This is guided by a regular change of topic.
Please contact us via our Facebook page for more information if you are interested in joining.
