The Graduate Art Show’s private view at Vanner Gallery in Salisbury was an evening of vibrant conversations, artistic discovery, and a shared passion for contemporary art. The event brought together collectors, critics, and key cultural figures, creating a dynamic space where emerging talent took center stage.

​

We were delighted to welcome Helen Birchenough, Chair of Arts Council South West; John Glen, Member of Parliament for Salisbury and South Wiltshire; and Helen Taylor, Development & Fundraising Director at Wiltshire Creative. Their presence underscored the importance of supporting new voices in the arts and fostering creative opportunities.

​

The gallery buzzed with excitement as visitors explored a diverse collection of work, from striking paintings and intricate mixed-media pieces to thought-provoking sculptures. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with several pieces finding new homes that very evening—a true testament to the strength of this year’s artists.

​

A huge thank you to Vanner Gallery for hosting such a fantastic event and to everyone who attended, engaged, and supported the show. Your enthusiasm and encouragement make all the difference in championing the next generation of artists.
