Spring Open 2021

Spring Open is back for a third year of celebrating the artistic talent from our local community and beyond. We were overwhelmed by the quality, imagination and variety displayed in the hundreds of artworks we received.

Making the final selection was incredibly difficult, and we’re so grateful to everyone who submitted work. Each year the identity of Spring Open emerges thanks to every application we receive, not just those that we select, so everyone who applied has played an invaluable part in this process.

This year’s exhibition features paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, textiles, illustration, 3D assemblage, film, infrared stereographs and… talkative seaweed!

Gallery open 10am – 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday. 

Social distancing measures are still in place – please wear a facemask, and sanitise your hands on arrival and throughout the exhibition before handling any of the works.
