Current Exhibitions
Lucy Kemp-Welch students
18th October 2025 to 19th April 2026
Lucy Kemp-Welch ran the Bushey School of Painting and later the Kemp-Welch School of Animal Painting. Sadly, no records remain but thanks to research by Grant Longman, we know the names of a number of her students. The artists practiced many different styles, subjects and media, and many of their artworks are part of our collection.
Exhibition Organisers: Frances Agnew and Irene Simonaro
