The Open has been celebrating East Midlands talent for over 30 years, giving all creative people a chance to showcase what they are doing - it is the people’s exhibition. We feature over 200+ artists and makers and all artworks are for sale. The Open accepts artwork from adults, children and young people, making for truly original and exciting show.
The 2022/23 exhibition, Open 33: The People’s Exhibition is now closed. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the show.
