Open 25

The annual Open exhibition presents an exciting opportunity for young and established artists to showcase their creative talents, in this special 25th year. The Open exhibition features a range of artists including established, recent graduates and first time exhibiting artists. We welcome applications from all artists across the region and are delighted to once again also host the Youth Category, open to ages 11 – 15 and 16 – 19 years, all competing for a range of artist’s prizes. The ever popular and diverse Open exhibition presents a stunning array of artworks and contemporary craft by artists from Leicester, Leicestershire and across the region. The exhibition is open to practitioners across a wide selection of different art forms including painting, photography, illustration, sculpture, textiles and ceramics. All works in the exhibition are for sale, providing an ideal opportunity for visitors to start your own art collection and provide invaluable support to local artists.
