Accepted mediums

The exhibition is ‘open’, which means that there is no set theme. This year we have broadened the categories to encompass a wider range of contemporary art mediums:

• 2D Work (i.e. drawing, painting, printmaking, textiles, photography etc)
• 3D work (i.e. sculpture)
• Contemporary Art Practice - Live/Performance Art*
• Installation

* For Contemporary Art Practice Please let us know how you imagine your work to be presented during the Open Art Show, whether this be a live sharing on a given date, and if there will be any lasting work on-site during the show.

We are only accepting digital submissions (photograph of the work) this time, with physical works being delivered if selected for the show. If you need an alternative submission process - in person, over the phone or another way, please just let us know and we can accommodate. You can only submit 1 entry.
