Exhibitions, Theatre, and Workshops.
Join West Studios for a fun filled spring & summer!
The Chesterfield Postcard Show
This year’s show is entitled ‘Memories Are Made of This” and will take place between the 7th and 17th of May at West Studios.
The exhibition will display mini masterpieces made by a range of professional artists and the local community.
All sales of the artwork from this exhibition goes directly to Junction Arts and helps them deliver their programme of events, workshops and festivals.
A Vision
‘A Vision’ is an exhibition by local group Mindscapes.
Mindscapes are a local mental health peer support group. They use their lived experience to help support individuals, helping with building self-esteem, social confidence, confidence and resilience. They also also help towards beating isolation and tackling loneliness.
The group uses the creative medium of photography to help people with their mental health. When you start looking at the world through a lens you can start to see the world in a different light and you start to see the beauty all around.
You can find out more information about upcoming exhibitions at West Studios on the exhibition page of our website.

Shop Fronts in Line & Wash - This workshop is geared to help you enjoy the medium of line and wash, the perfect choice for the hesitant artist!

Painting with Nature - making paints and inks.
In this series of workshops we will look at earth, plant and other natural pigments suitable to make paint and or ink, and how to process them today using historical and modern recipes. We will also make some historical art tools using feathers and sticks and spend some time working with our created paints/inks and look at natural binders for making a variety of paint types from watercolour to tempera.
