The Open 2026
The Open 2026
19th June – 31st July
The Open 2026 brings together a bold and carefully curated selection of contemporary artwork by emerging and established artists from across the UK. Spanning painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, and printmaking, the exhibition highlights the breadth, energy, and ambition of contemporary practice today.
Through a wide range of materials, processes, and perspectives, the exhibition explores how artists engage with observation, memory, identity, place, abstraction, and experimentation. From intimate works to larger-scale pieces, the exhibition reflects the diversity and complexity of contemporary art-making across disciplines.
The selected works demonstrate strong artistic vision, originality, and material or conceptual enquiry, offering visitors an engaging snapshot of contemporary practice at this moment in time.
