LSA Annual Exhibition 2022

141 artworks | 92 artists
Leicester Society of Artists’ annual exhibition has long been a highlight of the Leicester arts calendar, showcasing creative talent from across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland since 1881.
In 2022 LSA returns to Newarke Houses with a show that promises to deliver a memorable experience to all who visit.
LSA members are all local artists and makers, some of international acclaim, who collaborate to bring an exhibition that, according to exhibition curator Lis Naylor, “continues to push the boundaries of achievement and entertainment value, with consistently high-quality submissions.” The exhibition is open to the public until Sunday 18th December.
This year sees the re-introduction of the LSA Student Award …but with a difference.
Responding to the museum’s ‘Kampala to Leicester’ permanent gallery students were asked for their interpretation of the refugee crisis. In conjunction with the city of sanctuary the student participated in a workshop with asylum seekers based in Leicester before executing an artwork based on their winning proposal. Lis Naylor says, “it is the aim of LSA to encourage and support emerging artists to transition from student to professional by providing this award.”
“I am so excited to have had this opportunity” says Kaye Axon
Winner, LSA Student Award 2022, see image above of her art.
Visitors to the exhibition can expect to see work in a diverse range of media and styles, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, textiles, ceramics, and glass.
Most works are available to purchase.
