Following last year’s online only exhibition, ‘OPEN 2022’, returns to the physical exhibition spaces of Grundy Art Gallery.

This annual Open Exhibition aims to be demonstrate the wide range of artwork being produced throughout Blackpool and the Fylde Coast today. In line with Grundy Art Gallery’s founding principles of showing the ‘art of the day’ and echoing Blackpool’s motto of ‘progress’, we have requested that artworks submitted must have been created within the last 12 months and that the artwork has never been shown at Grundy Art Gallery before.

Bringing together works produced in a wide range of media, from painting, drawing, photography and sculpture, the annual Open Exhibition always provides viewers with an exciting and diverse viewing experience.
