Applications for Open: The People’s Exhibition are now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered.

What happens after I’ve submitted my work(s)?

After the submissions are collected a committee of judges, made up of arts professionals and arts community members, select an array of artwork, from painting, sculpture, textiles, prints, photography and more, from the submitted entries.

Entrants will be informed of the outcome of the judges’ selection by e-mail in mid-November. Successful entrants will be provided with details about delivering their work for the exhibition.

We endeavour to put as much of the fantastic work that we review into the Open as possible, however, we receive many high-quality applications from across the East Midlands and have a limited amount of space.

When and where is the exhibition?

When all the artwork has been selected and displayed, the exhibition will be open to the public from Saturday 16th December 2023 until Friday 19th January 2024 at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery.
