Winter Exhibition 2025
Present Perfect
From Thursday 27th November to Sunday 21st December, Craven Arts House will host Present Perfect, the perfect place to find original artworks, bespoke gifts, and artisan cards crafted by Craven Arts Members.
This annual showcase is a chance to highlight the full breadth of our community’s talent. We especially encourage 3D artists and makers to get involved, helping us offer a rich variety that supports Skipton’s local economy and boosts footfall. Our brilliant 2D artists remain central to the exhibition, with their work adding depth and diversity to the mix.
Supporting 3D Submissions in the Gallery
Together, we want to build a truly artisan outlet and grow the retail arm of Craven Arts to encourage greater footfall to our fabulous building and so we are especially keen to encourage submissions from 3D artists and makers. We will be showing in the shop, foyer gallery, and club room spaces. We have secure glass cabinets for small items such as jewellery and fragile pieces, and we have plinths and other equipment to make displays more interesting, and of course our shop card display equipment and browsers. Other specific stands for 3D items can also be accommodated, just ask for more information.
