Modo: Co-sponsor of Cambridgeshire Plein Air Artist of the Year 2026

"MODO is proud to support the 2026 Cambridgeshire Plein Air Artist of the Year Award. We are very much looking forward to exhibiting the winning works. As a gallery rooted in both innovation and accessibility, we see this as an opportunity to spotlight new talent while encouraging fresh ways of engaging with art. We believe galleries should reflect the diversity of their communities and offer spaces where everyone—especially children—can feel comfortable, curious, and welcome. Through this collaboration, we hope to help reframe what a gallery can be: not just a place to look at or buy art, but a place to belong, for everyone."

Sally Clarke, Owner, Modo Gallery.

Cheffins Fine Art: Co-sponsor of Cambridgeshire Plein Air Artist of the Year 2026

“For the second year running, Cheffins is delighted to support Cambridgeshire Plein Air Artist of the Year at Histon Manor.  Last year’s event was tremendously successful, showcasing the artistic talent and passion for working en plein air that exists across the county.  East Anglia has a rich heritage in plein air painting, from John Constable to Edward Seago, and last year it was brilliant to see artists of all ages have a fresh take on this tradition in a wide variety of styles and media.  Histon Manor, with its diverse and beautiful grounds, is a perfect location for the event and we can’t wait to witness the creative efforts of this year’s participants.”
