Woking Art Society: Spring Exhibition 2026

Warm, friendly and community-focused, the Woking Art Society Spring Exhibition invites visitors to discover local creativity and experience art in many ways.

This lively annual exhibition celebrates the creativity of local artists. Featuring paintings, drawings and mixed-media works – all available for sale – it showcases the breadth of artistic talent across the region. From expressive landscapes to detailed studies and more experimental approaches, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The exhibition extends beyond the gallery, with live demonstrations taking place throughout the building. Visitors can see artists at work, offering an insight into the processes and techniques behind their practice.

Creative activity also spills into the café, where relaxed, informal moments of making and conversation add to the atmosphere. Temporary installations appear across shared spaces, transforming the building into a vibrant and welcoming place to explore.


Art in the Café

Bitesize, informal art sessions — just drop in and give art a go. Art in the Café is a relaxed series of artist-led, drop-in creative sessions run by Woking Art Society and hosted in the café space. There’s no booking, no pressure, and no need for any previous experience. All materials will be provided.

Grab a coffee or tea, treat yourself to a slice of cake, and give art a go.
