A Spot on the Wall - Richmond's biggest open art exhibition
Every year The Station gathers together a fantastic range of talented artists and photographers and craftspeople for our annual exhibition A Spot on the Wall. Whether the artist is a first time exhibitor, or they have been exhibited for years, as a profession or hobby, their work sits side by side on the walls of the beautiful old railway building.

Artists pay for a 'spot', where they display their work alongside an array of other artists. As a piece of art is sold from the artist's spot, they replace it with another piece, and so the exhibition is constantly changing. All artwork in the exhibition can be purchased from The Station Shop.
