We are delighted to present this year’s display of Winchester Art Club members’ work at City Space. The submissions have been judged by a specialist panel, with the winning entries decided entirely on merit.
Many of the works in the exhibition are for sale and available to purchase from The Arc, Winchester. This show presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a unique piece made by a local artist.
Winchester Art Club was founded in 1919. The Club encourages the practice of Fine Arts in Winchester, particularly among those who paint as a hobby.

A Kiss For All The World: Klimt & the Viennese Secession
Lecture by Douglas Skeggs
Monday 13 October 2025, 3.00pm The Arc
The fears and anxieties of Vienna in the final years before the outbreak of the Great War found expression in the writing of Freud, the music of Gustav Mahler and the haunting paintings of Klimt, Kokoschka and Schiele. Shimmering portraits flecked with gold; hypnotic landscapes of vibrant brushstrokes; erotic dreams of decadence and death reveal a society in search for salvation at a time when mankind had lost faith in its future. The lecture traces the course of this brief, often dark but always dazzlingly inventive period of art.
