There are two art exhibitions opening this week in London. I'm guessing both are being hung right now. You can find all relevant details below about:
- Contemporary British Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition 2025 - in Brixton
- Society of Women Artists Annual Exhibition 2025 - at the Mall Galleries
Which means, for this week only, for those needing a train ticket, you get
more than one exhibition worth visiting if you visit between Thursday and
Saturday!
Contemporary British Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition 2025
 |
| All the artists at the Private View last year |
Anybody who iswould do well to visit the latest exhibition of the artist collective known as the Contemporary British Portrait Painters.
- EITHER aspiring to either become a contemporary portrait painter
- OR wanting to commission a contemporary portrait from one of the leading portrait painters in the UK
What I said last year after visiting the exhibition
Their exhibition space is actually very spacious and allows for a good
hang.

The Department Store, 248 Ferndale Road, Brixton (you just have to get round all the parked bikes!) |
Details are as follows:
- Venue: Downstairs at The Department Store, 248 Ferndale Road, Brixton, London SW9 8FR. The nearest station is Brixton (on the Victoria Line)
- Exhibition runs: Thursday 26th June - Thursday 5th 5 July,
- Hours: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
- Admission: FREE no booking required.
It's also one of the more co-operative and relaxed exhibitions. It's got many
of the artists I see on a regular basis each year - either at the Royal
Society of Portrait Painters or the Portrait Award at the National Gallery or
on television in Portrait Artist of the Year. By which I mean, this is an
excellent exhibition.
