SUMMARY:Event A04: Pictures in the Porch + 100
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Barnes offers an exhibition of 20 paintings in the porch\, plus 100 others in the store. Choose two from a catalogue in the car port. You sit; we bring; we hang; you look. A unique opportunity to spend time looking at your choice. Unlimited street parking at weekend. Families welcome. \nCatherine was a student at Folkestone School of Art and Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in the 1960s and subsequently at Goldsmiths’ College\, London. She has exhibited widely since the 1980s in England and Europe as well as locally. Catherine has also been a visiting lecturer at the University of Southampton and a visiting art historian and tutor at Southampton City Art Gallery. \n“It was during lockdown in 2021\, when nothing was open\, I found a way to hold a Covid safe exhibition in my porch where individuals could view about 20 paintings and another collection in the display rack. Instead of looking at images on tiny screens it was rewarding at that time to enable people to experience the real paintings – the building up of an oil painting or the texture of an etching. I found it unforgettable how\, after lockdown\, people reacted. \n“Visitors in 2026 can experience a selection of work in the porch\, then sit and choose a few of the 100 or more paintings\, prints or drawings (from photographs) and look at the real thing in the garden (in the Studio if wet). The work will be arranged in categories: Landscapes\, Seascapes\, Greek & Roman Studies and Figurative. \n“We are a 20-minute walk from the Cathedral\, good wheelchair access\, with limited parking in the drive on Friday\, but unlimited parking in Cedar Drive at the weekend.” \n107 Cedar Drive\, Chichester\, PO19 3EL Look out for the bunting. \nWebsite www.catherinebarnes.com and phone 07977 516730.

SUMMARY:Event A05: Oxmarket At 50: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:The 50th Retrospective exhibition is a celebratory event marking fifty years of the gallery’s history\, creativity\, and community. This event will honour the artists who have helped shape Oxmarket over the decades\, highlighting the outstanding quality of work that has defined the gallery since its founding. \nThe Oxmarket Contemporary 50th Retrospective marks a significant milestone in the gallery’s history\, celebrating fifty years of artistic innovation\, community engagement\, and creative excellence. Since its founding in 1976\, Oxmarket Contemporary has been a vibrant cultural space where emerging and established artists alike have found a platform to share their vision. This retrospective honours that legacy by bringing together works from artists who have played a vital role in shaping the gallery’s identity over the decades. \nThe exhibition will showcase a diverse and thoughtfully curated selection of artworks\, reflecting the breadth and quality of artistic practice that has defined Oxmarket Contemporary. From painting and photography to three-dimensional artworks\, the retrospective will highlight both the evolution of the gallery and the continued strength of its creative community. \nMore than a celebratory exhibition\, the 50th Retrospective also serves as an important fundraising effort\, supporting the gallery’s ongoing mission to champion accessible\, inclusive\, and high‑quality arts programming. It is a testament to the many artists\, volunteers\, supporters\, and visitors who have contributed to Oxmarket’s enduring success. \nWe invite you to this landmark event\, which both commemorates the past and looks forward to the next fifty years of artistic growth.
