Annual Exhibition The Annual Exhibition is held each autumn for several weeks in the City Space in The ARC, Winchester (formerly Winchester Discovery Centre). The exhibition area is no longer in the downstairs gallery and now on the mezzanine floor at the top of the stairs. Each member may submit three framed paintings, a framed drawing, two portfolios, three sculptures, and a sketchbook. The exhibition is judged and approximately 100 pictures are hung.

They must be original unaided work of the member, made in the last five years, and not shown previously at a Winchester Art Club Annual Exhibition. All work must be signed.
