North Clifton Arts Festival – North Clifton
Date: 27 June 2026
This yearly event highlights the creations of local artists. Attendees can explore and purchase a variety of arts and crafts, enjoy live music, and take advantage of a licensed bar and refreshments. Additionally, there are art competitions available for both children and adults, as well as games suitable for the entire family.

What You Can Expect at These Events
At each event, I will bring a carefully chosen selection of original oil paintings. These include:
Local scenes that capture the essence of life in scenery and architecture, particularly public houses.
New studio works that explore different themes and techniques
Original oil paintings that showcase texture, colour depth, and artistic detail
You will be able to view the paintings up close, ask questions about the creative process, and discuss commissions if you are interested in custom work. These events are also a chance to meet other art lovers and support the local art community.
Why See Original Paintings in Person?
Viewing original paintings in person offers an experience that digital images cannot replicate. You can appreciate:
The texture and brushwork that give each painting its unique character
The true colours and subtle shades that often look different on screen
The scale and presence of the artwork in a way that photos cannot convey
Buying directly from the artist also means you get a personal connection to the work and can be confident in the authenticity of your purchase.
Tips for Visiting Art Events
To make the most of your visit, consider these tips:
Plan your visit by checking event times and locations in advance
Bring a list of questions or interests to discuss with the artist
Take your time to explore different artists and styles
Consider your space at home and think about where a new painting might fit
Support local artists by purchasing original work or sharing the event with friends
Supporting Local Artists Matters
By attending these events and purchasing original paintings, you help sustain the creative community. Local artists rely on direct engagement with art lovers to continue producing work that reflects the character and beauty of the region.
Your support encourages artists to keep exploring new ideas and sharing their vision through original art.
Join Me and Experience Original Art First hand
I look forward to welcoming you at these upcoming events. Whether you want to find a new painting for your collection or simply enjoy a day surrounded by creativity, these markets and trails offer something special.
Come along, say hello, and discover original oil paintings that bring local scenes and new studio work to life.
Thank you for supporting local art.
