Following nearly a year in the planning the Plymouth Society has broken from its usual exhibiting pattern. Moving out of the city and looking to the far south west, the group has accepted the invitation and mounted a month-long show in the Penwith Gallery. This has been timed to coincide with the Penwith Society’s autumn exhibition and the long-established St Ives September Festival.

In a return to the exhibiting opportunity of earlier years the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts is showing in the recently modernised visual arts gallery at RAMM, Exeter. The exhibition includes work from forty of the Academy’s artists with a wide range of 21st Century styles and genres using traditional and experimental media represented. The applied arts of photography and print are seen alongside paintings in oils, acrylics and other contemporary media.

The Main Gallery is showing a new selection of work from the members this month. The entry was larger than usual and gave the selectors something of a challenge in mounting a show that maintained the fine balance of fair representation from the submission and upholding the Society’s norms of standard.

Now in the seventh year of an annual showing at Plymouth’s Artmill Gallery the Society has had superb representation from the gallery owner Isabell Pierson over the period. Artmill is far more spacious than a street view would suggest and displays are to be found in three distinct areas with an additional walled sculpture garden to the rear of the complex.
