The History of the Southern Nature Art Exhibition
Proudly running for 10 years, the Southern Nature Art Exhibition has grown from humble beginnings as the Marwell Art Society to become the most significant wildlife and art exhibition in the UK. It is a firm fixture in the wildlife artist's calendar, returning to the much-loved Rookesbury Park as its permanent home for the foreseeable future.
Five award-winning artists make up the Directors of this CIC (community interest company), driving the exhibition to new and greater heights, increasing their reach to local and overseas nature artists, making it a must-attend event.
After the Directors took over the event in 2023, they have seen a huge rise in interest in the annual event, with each exhibition being better than the last and breaking SNA records every year! The exhibition is currently the largest independent nature art exhibition in the UK.
The Directors
Every Director is a working artist and valued member of the team, each bringing something different to the table. This makes SNA special, with very dedicated artists (understanding and living through being a current artist) making decisions to help benefit those who choose to exhibit with us. We are a small but dedicated team that loves what we do. Organising the SNA takes a whole year, and each of us puts in thousands of hours to make it happen (with very little financial gain!)
Each Director has either a part-time or full-time art business of their own, and produces their own work alongside SNA - each specialising in areas such as painting, ceramics, textiles, mixed media and more.
