Work in Progress 2026 Photographic Exhibition

Event Details

Leamington Spa PS 
Work in Progress 2026 from the Style Group

30th July to 2nd August

 TAKE TWELVE - AND MORE
If you like putting a round peg into a square hole, take a look at how a dozen photographers each interpret those and a number of other subjects.
That was the challenge set for the Take Twelve display which forms the intriguing central display at ‘Work in Progress’ – the annual exhibition by members of Leamington Spa Photographic Society’s Style Group.
Each of the 12 participating members had to come up with a subject for themselves and the others to interpret with a single photograph.
And the resulting images will form a patchwork grid of 144 pictures at the free-to-enter ‘Work in Progress’ exhibition at All Saints’ Parish Church in Leamington from Thursday July 30 until Sunday August 2.
In addition to that eye-catching display, which also features interpretations of Tea, Time, Holes in Nature, Forgotten, Music, Water, Rubbish, Community, Inverted and Morning, the exhibition will include panels of work by members of the Style Group.
Style Group co-ordinator Stefan Shillington observed: “What began as the Take Ten challenge has now become Take Twelve, thanks to its popularity among both group members and exhibition visitors.
“But although that is a central part of our annual exhibition, the individual panels give members their own space to mount cohesive collections of work in the way they want it displayed, without outside curation.
“And that results in varying display styles and an eclectic range of subjects, from close-ups of rock formations on a Northumberland beach to sweeping night skies, and from home-studio flower portraits to international travel.  
Other displays feature ‘Hims Hers and Theys,’ Local Sport, Floral Inspirations, Gender, Wildlife, The Garden and ‘Our Society.’
 The exhibition is open from 12.30 until 5.30pm on Thursday July 30, 10.30am to 5.30pm on the Friday and Saturday, and 12.30 to 5pm on Sunday August 2.  It will also be available to view on the LSPS website: lsps.org.uk
