Welcome to The Association of British Naïve Artists. We hope you enjoy browsing through our three sections of members work and capture some of the magic encapsulated by the world of Primitive/Naive Art.
Our aim is to promote Naive Art throughout Great Britain and abroad; to promote each other and to educate people about this unique style of painting.
Because we are mostly self taught and have often not had any formal training, you will recognise a simplicity, innocence and honesty about our work that you will find no where else.
During the last few years there has been a growing world-wide interest in Primitive/Naive paintings and many public and private galleries are now devoting special sections to this genre.
The next Exhibition by Members of ABNA will be at the Gallery of Delamore Park, Cornwood,
Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 9QT
Tel: 01752 837236
The exhibition begins on Wednesday 25th
April and ends on Thursday 31st May
The special Artists' day is on Sunday 29th April
from 2.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. and ALL ARE WELCOME
On all the other days the exhibition
will be open from 10.30 a.m. to 16.30 p.m.
An online catalogue of all the paintings
