Annette Pugh will be taking part in gala Fine Art’s 10th anniversary show in London next week.

We are proudly participating in Birmingham Open Studios. Come and visit our artists and see where we work. We will be available to show you around and discuss all things creative. Parking is available on the road near the studios, and on Sunday 28th parking will be available free on our car park at The Telsen Industrial Centre, 55 Thomas Street, Aston, B6 4TN.

At Birmingham Artspace we have been really busy over the past year or so, so much so that there are too many events to list that we thought we’d summarise instead.

Angelina Davis has had a successful time with work now hanging in the Government Art Collection and Manchester City Art Gallery. She has also shown in a number of exhibitions including at Paradise Works, Manchester, a solo exhibition at Long Buckby, Assembly with Contemporary British Painting in Rye, Manchester Contemporary and was a finalist in The Cass Art Prize and shortlisted for The Jacksons Painting Prize.

Annette Pugh has set up Studio Wall, a collective of artists who showed for the first time at The Manchester Contemporary in 2024 and will be there again in November 2025. She has also exhibited with fellow studio holder James Byrne in British Contemporary at Forward Gallery, Birmingham. Other shows include Goth In The Landscape at Aberystwyth School of Art, Between Figuration and Abstraction at Crane Court Gallery in London and she will be showing in Fitzrovia soon with Gala Fine Art. Annette is also exhibiting in The Cass Art Prize. Annette’s solo show, Happenstance’ at The New Art Gallery, Walsall featured in the Anomie review of Contemporary Painting 3 and works also appeared in Resurgence Magazine in a feature written by Ruth Millington, author and art critic. One of Annette’s photographic works has also featured in a touring outdoor exhibition, Surreal Solihull.

Graham Chorlton has had a solo exhibition, Everywhere and Nowhere at The Coventry University Gallery, was selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and participated in Conversations With Books at The Core Gallery, Solihull. He has also participated in The Wrexham Painting Prize alongside Angela Maloney, Annette Pugh and Carey Hendron.

Angela Maloney has recently shown at the Mill Gallery, Leeds and in the Wrexham Painting Prize 2025. She has also been invited to be one of the Studio Wall collective at The Manchester Contemporary.

Marta Pedzik, our youngest studio holder had work featured in The Rising Stars exhibition in London.

Jack Foster is has been shortlisted for Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and studied printmaking in Poland.

Studio Wall is a new initiative set up for exhibiting and art fairs featuring work by Birmingham Artspace artists Annette Pugh, Angela Maloney and Graham Chorlton, plus three invited artists, Deborah Catesby, John Devane and Erin Conel.

We are exhibiting at @mcrcontemporary on 15-17 November at Manchester Central.

The New Art Gallery Walsall, 22 July 2023 — 7 January 2024

Happenstance is an exhibition of newly commissioned oil paintings by Birmingham-based artist Annette Pugh. The works explore traces of human presence in the landscape and the often-emotional connection we have with unpopulated places such as remote lakesides, private ponds or the hidden crevices of public gardens.

Annette Pugh will be exhibiting at London Art Fair in January with Gala Fine Art, at The Business Design Centre, Islington.

“London Art Fair connects the best galleries from around the world with both seasoned and aspiring collectors, providing a unique opportunity to discover and connect with exceptional Modern and Contemporary Art.” Home – London Art Fair
