OVAS Exhibition 2023
The 2023 exhibition was something new for OVAS. For the first time we exhibited at Kennaway House, Sidmouth - in many ways a perfect venue for exhibitions with good daylight, much improved footfall, and all the facilities one might expect from the home of the SouthWest Arts Academy. Once more the standard of entries was very high.

2023 Exhibition
Maria Rose, who demonstrated for us earlier in the year, kindly agreed to act as this year's judge. This year we slimmed down the prizegiving to a Judge's choice [Tracey Collyer's Watercolour, Spring At Coleton Fishacre] and a runner-up [John Stadden's oil painting, Spider Crab].
