SUMMER ART WEEKS – 20 JUNE to 5 JULY 2026
As a true celebration of the variety and quality of visual art available locally, Summer Art Weeks is open to all – from passionate amateurs to professional artists, across all mediums. It’s a wonderful chance for art enthusiasts to engage directly with artists, learn about their inspirations and processes, and discover how the art comes to life.
Sign-up for our 2026 event will open in December, so if you want to stay in touch then please subscribe to our mailing list.
Our CONNECT service which helps facilitate the bringing together of artists and venues is now live.
WOS is funding up to four bursaries of £250 each that will enable new talent in the early stages of their creative journey to get involved with Summer Art Weeks 2026 and assist in the transition to becoming an artist.
Our 2025 event was a fantastic celebration of the quality and diversity of visual art found across Coventry and Warwickshire. It included paintings, photography, drawings, ceramics, jewellery, installations, printmaking, textiles, metalwork and glassware. Venues range from artists’ homes, studios and gardens to pop-up exhibitions in churches, cafés, pubs, shops, galleries and other wonderful venues.
If you visited the event and want to get in touch with one of the artists directly you can use the search facility to get their contact details. You can also find additional information about our registered artists on their Artist Profile.
This year’s event was in the glorious grounds of Compton Verney – Britain’s leading art gallery in a park. Set within 120 acres of grade II listed parkland designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, artists were inspired by the mansion house, lake, coppice, meadowland and treelined avenues.
Over 70 artists braved the weather on the day to produce a beautiful range of pieces.
As part of our 25 year celebration, the WOS25 Summer Show showcased work created by our 2025 registered artists. The exhibition took place in the LSA Art Room Gallery, now in its new home in the Royal Priors, Leamington Spa.
Do you want to get creative? Many of our artists run workshops that you can take part in to learn a new skill or improve your own creative practice. They might take place in their own studios or in a shared space, but there are lots to choose from across all different mediums.
