About

Creativity Continues 2026 - Colonnade House Fundraiser Exhibition

About the exhibition:

Following the success of Our Creative Community 2025, we are once again inviting artists to contribute artworks to Creativity Continues 2026, the Colonnade House fundraiser exhibition to be held in March 2026.

The exhibition is a celebration of work by local artists including: studio members, students and graduates, local artists, studio collectives and the wider arts community.

Each artwork submitted will be 12 x 12 inch square, and will be sold for 30 - 100. We will profile involved artists in the lead up to the launch, but artists' names and details will be kept anonymous in the exhibition.

Artists' names and details will be revealed after works are purchased. As this is a fundraiser, when an artwork is sold, the artist will receive 40% and Adur & Worthing Trust will receive 60%.

This contributes to our annual fundraising target, ensuring we can continue to support and create opportunities for artists.

What can I submit?

- There is no theme, just express yourself creatively!

- Unframed 12 x 12 inch square unframed original or printed/digital artwork on thick stock/ canvas board. We will have 12 x 12 500gsm cartridge that you can collect directly from Colonnade House after confirming your entry.
