Woodbine Contemporary Arts is moving back to the Fens

A few of you, our valued friends, and visitors, may remember that we began our gallery, thirty years ago this year, in a small farmworker's cottage in the Fens of south Lincolnshire. As Woodbine Cottage Gallery, we showed work by a wide range of artists and, from 1999 began to take part in art fairs. We changed our name, to Woodbine Contemporary Arts, and our premises, firstly to the nearby town of Spalding and subsequently to Uppingham, where we have been showing and selling art since 2009, initially behind the Falcon Hotel, before settling opposite the renowned Goldmark Gallery.

Now, after twelve great years in Orange Street, it is time for a change. On the 31st of March we close the door for the last time, and in the autumn, thirty years after our beginning there, reopen Woodbine Cottage as our gallery space. We live next door and so the commute will be easier than the thirty-five mile trip to Uppingham. There will also be more room to exhibit artworks than at 7, Orange Street.

We intend to hold four to five shows a year, open at weekends. Between exhibitions, we will have flexibility to open by appointment, take a stand in an art fair, show and sell works to clients in mutually convenient places ...and even produce our own artworks regularly again.

We will maintain our normal opening hours until 5.00pm on Saturday 22nd March, but thereafter, we will open by appointment only for viewings, as we will be removing artworks and preparing the space for the next tenant.

Between March 31st until we reopen in Woodbine Cottage in the autumn, please contact us on 07980 167404 / 01406 330693 or yorath@woodbinecontemporaryarts.co.uk whenever you wish to receive imagery of available works, or to arrange a personal viewing in a mutually convenient place. Thank-you all for your tremendous support and appreciation of our gallery thus far. We look forward to welcoming you to our first exhibition in the autumn.. dates to be announced!
