PENSYCHNANT’S OPEN ART EXHIBITION 2025

Pensychnant’s ‘Open’ 2024 was undoubtedly our best exhibition ever, with some of the best artists from all over Britain, painting in diverse media and styles. For 2025, all of the pictures will again be on the theme of Nature, Conservation and the Environment; some celebrating the beauty of nature and its importance to our well-being; others show the threats to nature. This exhibition will be worth seeing! And you can vote for your ‘People’s Choice’ which will be announced at the end of the show.

CREATE YOUR OWN MEADOW SIGN

WITH NESSIE RAMM

Nessie Ramm, Plantlife's Creative Friend for 2025, paints wildflowers on roadsigns to promote the conservation of nature on roadside verges and other unloved spaces. Cleverly, the words could be regarded as traffic orders, but could be taken as life-choices - STOP, CHANGE PRIORITIES, EXIT, SLOW. 

You will paint your own roadsign, inspired by Pensychnant's wildflower meadows, using enamel paints and suitable for indoors or out. All materials provided. This activity is suitable for families and children 8+, or individuals. (children under 16 must be supervised). 

£35 per sign (families may collaborate on one sign if you want). Tea and cake available. Book here
