December is always a quick and busy month, and there's plenty to catch from the collective to make sure you get your creative pick-me-up! With delightful group shows, a retrospective and a beautiful solo, there's some great choices to fill your festive December with art. So let's dive into all the Sixteen Online Artists shows to see this December:
3 December - 5 January
Winter Exhibition at Three Storeys
The Winter Exhibition at Three Storeys is their third annual exhibition showing work by local artists in their multi-functional creative venue in Nailsworth, including the work of collective members Mike Skinner and Ellie Thomas.
Three Storeys is a creative space built out of a historic brewery building which now hosts a community utilising studios, cafes and workspace.
Their third annual Winter Exhibition showcases a diverse mix of works from artists, professional and amateur, living and/or working within a 10 mile radius of the site. A truly local, community driven exhibition, definitely worth a visit!
5 - 12 December
Sixteen Gallery Retrospective
Sixteen Gallery plays host to its owners this first week of December for a 2024 retrospective, showing what both Andy and Arthur have been working on over this last year. Expect a peek into the artists' studios with current projects in progress alongside finished collections and unseen pieces.
A nice way to see what they've been up to, come along and chat to the artists and get involved with their latest developments.
5 - 23 December
Spring Gallery Small Works Winter Show
Ellie Thomas, Maria Buttuller and Ellie Cottrell are featured along with a whole host of other fantastic local artists down at Spring Gallery's annual Small Works Winter Show. A delightful yearly offering of works no larger than 11", this exhibition including painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture and more is always a fan favourite, and this year is sure to be no different.
Not only does this show promise visitors are treated to a wonderfully packed exhibition, but these small and mighty works can be a great accessible way to collect pieces by your favourite local artists.
Open throughout the month, this show can be the perfect art pick me up for the busy month.
12 - 24 December
Solo Exhibition
For a truly festive treat offering an excellent opportunity to buy that unique gift for someone special (or maybe yourself!) Lynne Woods leads us into Christmas with a solo show at Sixteen Gallery.
Showcasing a collection of original artworks complimented by a range of homewares and accessories this exhibition shows Lynne's practice in all its beautiful forms and offers visitors a unique opportunity to find thoughtful handmade art gifts straight from the creator herself.
Make sure to give us a follow on socials to keep up with all the events from the collective's artists - we'll make sure you don't miss your favourite artists and exhibitions!
