The Beginnings
was created in 2010, and grew out of a regional online art gallery called 'Warwickshire Artists'.
The gallery has since grown to represent visual artists living and working all over the UK. You can choose to buy art from artists in your own locality or from our upcoming and established artists UK wide.
All our artists have been selected for the high quality of their artwork. You can browse the Artists' Profiles or head straight over to their Art for Sale pages.
Choose art from painters UK, sculptors, illustrators, photographers, printmakers, textile and glass artists, and much more.
Need help finding the right artwork? Simply contact us via our contact page or use the Chat facility (bottom right corner) and we can help you make the right choice.
We now have a new feature on the art detail pages where you can see what the artwork would look like in a variety of room settings. Choose from art for the lounge, art for the kitchen, art for the office or workplace, art for the bedroom, kids room or hallway. Best of all, you can upload an image of your own room to see what the painting or print would look like in your own home before making that final purchase decision.

Previous Exhibitions
UK Artists held an exhibition of original artwork, which includes originals and prints in browsers, at East Lodge Gallery in Leamington Spa in March 2024.
Exhibiting artists were members of both UK Artists and Leamington Studio Artists. Visitors to the art gallery voted for their favourite artwork and David Lewis was an outstanding winner with his creation picturing a beautiful house in Leamington Spa.
The UK Artists annual exhibition is the highlight of our year and is held in various locations.
In 2023 we exhibited in All Saints Parish Church, Leamington Spa.
Over 1,000 visitors joined us at All Saints Parish Church in picturesque Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, as we proudly presented the UK Artists Exhibition 2023, a celebration of artistic talent from local and UK-wide artists alike.
Dates: Wed September 20th to Sat September 30th Time: 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Set within the hallowed halls of the All Saints Church, this exhibition was a visual spectacle where tradition met innovation. As the sun streamed through the stained glass windows, it casted a warm, ethereal glow upon the awe-inspiring Gothic architecture, enhancing the beauty of each artwork.
Each piece told a story, evoked emotion, and transported you into the artist's world. It was a journey through landscapes, abstract realms, and the depths of human expression.
But that's not all. The UK Artists Exhibition 2023 culminated in the much-anticipated annual prize-giving show where UK Artists' members are recognized and celebrated for their exceptional contributions to the world of art.
The 'Meet the Artists' Event was held on Saturday 23rd September from 2pm to 4pm with prize-giving at 3pm. Curator and artist Tammy Woodrow and painter Mo Enright judged the show. Local musician and singer Abi Rowberry entertained while people browsde the art and chatted with the artists.
This event was not just for art connoisseurs, but for everyone who sought inspiration and a taste of the extraordinary. At All Saints Church, everyone is welcome.
All art was for sale. Visitors to the exhibition chose their favourite artworks in the 'People's Prize' competition with a chance to win a voucher, kindly donated by Aubrey Allen, Leamington.
