A free art exhibition will be hosted at St John's Church as part of Warwickshire Open Studios' Summer Art Weeks.

Co-ordinated by Kenilworth artists, the 'Art at St John's' exhibition will show the work of 20 local creatives at the Warwick Road church.

Items on display will include paintings (in various media), ceramics, furniture, glass, textiles, prints, cards and calligraphy.

The exhibition will be open for public viewing daily, from Saturday 26 June until Sunday 4 July (11am to 6pm and 12pm to 5pm on Sundays).

As well as admiring the local artwork, there will be the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets to be in with the chance of winning one of several creative prizes. Proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the church.

Paula Perry of Kenilworth Artists said: "You may have seen their [Kenilworth Artists'] 'Art Wall' installation in Talisman Square, lockdown exhibitions in the former Poundland and Thorntons' shops windows, or visited their sunny and successful event 'Art in the Car Park' last year.

"But what with them now being the biggest open studios group in the county, this exhibition promises to be the biggest and best yet! The perfect destination to enjoy all things arty, all under one roof."

The vicar at St John's Church, Rev Andrew Attwood will be one of the 20 artists exhibiting work. He said: "I am always looking for ways to open the church to the community, and I am delighted to welcome local artists in for what promises to be a stunning display."
