Dame Catherine Arts is the biggest and best open exhibition of art outside London.
Welcome to the Dame Catherine 17th Annual Summer Art Exhibition Website
Now in its 17th year, the Ticknall Art Exhibition has grown in size and success. It is a well-established event attracting buyers and artists from around the country but focused on Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Staffordshire. In 2010 over one hundred and ninety professional and amateur artists exhibited, generating almost twenty thousand pounds worth of sales.
This year’s featured artist will be Steven McLoughlin - a renowned Derbyshire artist. Steven uses pastels and acrylics with dexterity and subtlety to paint open skies and landscapes.
This annual exhibition has become a major show for artists in the Midlands and was originally set up as a fundraiser by parents of children attending the village school Dame Catherine Harpur's for which it still raises considerable funds.
We are hosting the art exhibition inside Ticknall hall.
