SUMMARY:Hurrah for Shippam's at The Novium Museum
DESCRIPTION:Shippam’s: A Chichester Brand\nAdmission is free\, with donations welcome. \nBehind every jar of potted paste was a person\, a story – and a city. This summer\, one of Chichester’s most iconic names steps back into the spotlight in a brand new exhibition exploring the history\, impact\, and legacy of Shippam’s. \nFrom humble beginnings in 1786\, Shippam’s grew from a family grocer into a nationally recognised food manufacturer – all while remaining proudly rooted in Chichester. Best known for their meat and fish pastes\, the company was a household name for generations. But their story goes far beyond the contents of a jar. \nThis exhibition brings the Shippam’s story to life through rarely-seen photographs\, quirky adverts\, colourful packaging and real objects from life on the factory floor. You’ll hear from the people who worked the lines\, packed the jars and operated the switchboards – their voices captured through brand new oral histories. Visitors can even explore archaeological finds from the old East Walls factory site.

SUMMARY:William Nicholson at Pallant House Gallery

Beggarstaff’\, his celebrated woodcuts from An Alphabet (1898)\, original illustrations for The Velveteen Rabbit\, works created during travels to India\, and poignant wartime paintings\, as well as his glittering still lifes\, which showcase his mastery of light and texture. \nVisitors can view rarely seen works\, and intimate depictions of family and friends – including a newly displayed portrait of his son\, artist Ben Nicholson. \nThe exhibition offers a rare opportunity to rediscover one of Modern British art’s most beloved and versatile figures and is accompanied by a new catalogue\, with contributors including Stephen Calloway\, Simon Martin\, Miriam O’Connor Perks\, Jane Pritchard\, Patricia Reed\, and Melanie Vandenbrouck.

SUMMARY:Caroline Walker: Mothering at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Explore the beauty\, strength\, and unseen labour of childcare in the powerful exhibition\, Caroline Walker: Mothering.\n\n\nCelebrated for her luminous brushwork and moving depictions of women’s lives\, Walker transforms everyday acts of care into striking scenes. From maternity wards to nurseries\, her paintings reveal the tenderness\, intensity and resilience of motherhood and the often-unacknowledged work that shapes our society. \nFeaturing highlights from the past five years alongside new works\, this exhibition brings together Walker’s lively pencil sketches\, delicate ink studies\, intimate panels and large-scale canvases. Her use of light\, colour and scale creates works that feel both universal and deeply personal. \nCaroline Walker: Mothering is organised by The Hepworth Wakefield in collaboration with Pallant House Gallery. Shown within the unique setting of the historic townhouse\, this is a rare chance to experience Walker’s work in an environment that resonates with her themes of home\, family and care. \nCaroline Walker: Mothering is accompanied by an illustrated monograph of the same title\, published by Lund Humphries in September 2025. See below.

SUMMARY:50 Years Fired Up at Oxmarket Contemporary
DESCRIPTION:Oxmarket Contemporary are delighted that The Southern Ceramic Group will be with us across both galleries in November. \n50 Years Fired Up – the 50th Anniversary of the Southern Ceramic Group \nThe Southern Ceramic Group was started in 1975 by a small group of enthusiastic potters. Their aim was to enable potters and sculptors normally working alone to meet other like-minded people and share ideas and techniques. The idea worked so well that the Southern Ceramic Group now has over 200 members from Hampshire\, West Sussex and the surrounding counties. Our members are potters\, sculptors\, professional and amateurs\, teachers and students\, collectors and enthusiasts. The Southern Ceramic Group consists of keen ceramicists who live and work in the South of England and share a passion for creating in clay. The members are as diverse as the objects they create. Some have spent a lifetime perfecting their craft while others have come to it only recently\, after careers ranging from engineering to medicine to dance and teaching. What they all share is intense creativity and a love of clay.
