Three Counties Open Art 2020 : Virtual Exhibition

New for 2020!

The Three Counties Open Art exhibition usually takes place in the beautiful and historic Burslem School of Art throughout July and August. The show offers a platform for artists based in Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire and there are a range of prizes usually announced at a buzzing preview event. This year, due to COVID-19, rather than cancelling the summer show the decision was made to create our first virtual exhibition. Viewing art online is never as good as in 'real life' however it is important to keep the momentum and the opportunity in the diary for artists who wish to participate in this annual show.

The show will return to Burslem School of Art in 2021. 

The Three Counties Open 2020 virtual show is now open. You are welcome to visit the exhibition which is organised over 6 rooms and features work from 145 artists. Follow the link below to enter the rooms of the 3D space...
