Hello
A warm welcome to Wilmslow Art.
Wilmslow Art is an annual event designed to showcase the very best artists, makers and potters from around the North West.
Our prestigious annual show is located in Wilmslow in the heart of the 'golden triangle', an affluent area closely connected to Alderley Edge, Prestbury and Knutsford.
The Wilmslow Art committee is currently made up of five volunteers who also regularly show at the event:
Tine Dalgaard, Committee Chair, ceramics
Alex Jabore, fine art
Sylvia Glover, Treasurer, ceramics
Tessa Matthews, Committee Secretary, digital & marketing support for event
Background and Artists
The Wilmslow Art show is an annual show located in the affluent 'golden triangle' of Cheshire. We are superbly located to key motorways and train routes with easy access to and from Manchester and surrounding areas.
The town is a bustling hub of restaurants, high end clothing, home interior shops and impressive luxury car dealerships. It also has a vibrant community programme run by both the Wilmslow Town Council, the Wilmslow Business Improvement District and other local businesses. The town was selected to be the first Gail's Bakery in the 'north' and also hosts regular half marathons.
Every year, the Wilmslow Art committee puts a call out for artists to participate. Many more artists apply to be part of the event than there is space and every year the selection process becomes harder. The selection process is based on quality of work and also includes a curation element to ensures a vibrant and interesting show for visitors. The committee are fuelled by a passion for art, jewellery and ceramics and this is evident in the superb quality of work on display.
Typically around 20-30 artists are selected each year. The call out is usually launched in late February for the October Wilmslow Art event. If you are interested in applying, please sign up to our mailing list to be the fist to hear about next years' show.
The committee are always looking for new committee members, so if you are interested in being part of our volunteer committee next year, please get in touch.
Our Artists
As well as being able to browse through the amazing work on display, you will be able to meet and chat with the artist themselves, find out about their process and the stories behind their work. Many will work to commission too if you fancy something a little more bespoke.
We started as Wilmslow Art Trail many years ago and artists were located in shops and restaurants around the town of Wilmslow. We have been running for many years and our audience and loyal customers have grown each year. We become Wilmslow Art 'under one roof' when we relocated to one venue, the beautifully restored Church Rooms at the United Reformed Church and we have been there ever since.
In 2026, we are partnering with Wilmslow Business Improvement District to bring a week long art event to Wilmslow. This will be particularly advantageous to artists participating and will offer interesting opportunities for makers and artists. More details about this will be announced later in the year.
