This summer, St. Mary's Church in Warwick — a landmark rich in nearly 900 years of history — becomes a vibrant hub for creativity, community, and renewal. From 21st June 2025, nine talented artists from Warwickshire come together in “Exploring Colours, Moods & Textures”, a multidisciplinary art exhibition designed to celebrate the rich artistic spirit of the area and underscore the powerful role the arts play in shaping our local culture. 

“There is something for everyone in this unmissable exhibition” says professional artist and teacher Lyndy Rogan. 

The exhibition is a part of Warwickshire Open Studios, a county-wide event that invites the public into artists’ spaces to view their work, meet makers, and appreciate the rich creative community that thrives in our region. 

Ceramicist Ginte Zacharini believes that the show is more than just a collection of works; it’s a testimony to the enduring ability of art to connect people across generations and backgrounds, illuminate hidden traditions binding with new trends and technological advance. Sandra Heard, a Mixed Media artist, completely agrees with this opinion adding that many communities are experiencing a renewal of interest in their own heritage and a need for shared spaces of expression, and that this show highlights the rich pool of creativity within Warwick and its surroundings - affirming the arts as a key thread in the fabric of communal life.

The artists participating include: Ginte Zacharini (Ceramics), Howard Lucas (Wood Turning), Julie Cooke (Photography), Sandra Heard (Mixed Media), Steve Jackson (Stained Glass), Susan Nicholls, Lyndy Rogan, Pictorio & Susanne Soal (Painting)

“The historic St. Mary's Church - a space that has stood at the center of Warwick’s civic and spiritual life for nearly a millennia - provides a dramatic and fitting backdrop to this contemporary expression of creativity”, say Susanne Soal and Pictorio. “Here, past and present come together in a rich dialogue - honoring traditions while embracing renewal - reflecting a community that is proud of its roots but forward-looking in its imagination.”
