Somerset Art Works 2025

The Orchard Gallery is hosting 8 Taunton-based artists for the Somerset Art Weeks open studios.

We’ve turned the gallery into little booths for each artist so you can get a wonderful sense of their work. We also have a featured artist each day for the 2 weeks of the open studios who will be creating in a gazebo outside of the gallery.

Well-being Wednesday - The Arts Hub, Flook House, Taunton

Every Wednesday morning I support the very talented abstract artist Jenny Keogh with a 2 hour art session of creative loveliness. People can bring an idea to work on or be free with intuitive expression.
This is a project organised by Go Create, a fantastic Community Interest Company, supporting and developing art in Taunton.
It’s an opportunity to be inspired by the diversity of creative work.
