Welcome to The Ayot St Lawrence Art Show
The 2025 Ayot St Lawrence Art Show was the Show’s 50th! We had a wonderful weekend of celebration: with artist demonstrations, various giveaways, and a raffle (in which first prize was an Andrew King oil painting); as well as the usual excellent display of art, very enjoyable Preview Evening, and tea and cakes over the weekend. We are now recovering and doing the post-Show admin before we start planning for next year’s Show, which will be held in June 2026.
The success of the Ayot Art Show is ultimately down to the quality of the artwork. We have a fantastic range of artists, many of whom exhibit with us every year in a variety of styles and media including oil, watercolour and acrylic. Each year we keep the Show fresh by inviting new artists to exhibit with us. In addition to the framed art available for sale, there are browsers full of excellent unframed art, plus a variety of art-based greetings cards designed by the artists.
The Art Show is held in the beautiful Grade I listed Palladian Church of the charming village of Ayot St Lawrence; a truly memorable location for the Show. Please click here to see some of the superb work previously entered. And if you are an artist, please click here to see the Information for Artists.
Dates for 2026 will be put here in due course.
