After the overwhelming success of 2018’s first Open Exhibition at the Swindon Museum and Art Gallery are delighted to announce that entry is now open for this year’s Open Art Exhibition. For one month (19 November till 19 December), the gallery will come alive with works from local and regional artists.
Submissions of work must be made by 24 October. Artists can submit up to three pieces of original work which will be judged by an independent panel and successful works will be displayed in the exhibition.
All art work will be available for purchase and can be collected before Christmas.
This Open Exhibition is an excellent opportunity for artists to demonstrate and showcase their artistic skills and creative vision and exhibit their work in a prestigious gallery environment. It is also an ideal way to celebrate the rich and diverse skills of local and regional artists with a wider audience.
There will be three prizes awarded during the exhibition. icanFRAME are offering one lucky person a £100 voucher, while the Friends of Swindon Museum & Art Gallery will be giving a £100 cash prize. Both icanFRAME and Friends of Swindon Museum and Art Gallery will be selecting their lucky winners.
New this year also is the People’s Choice Award, which will be chosen by the public. Voting will take place during the exhibition where visitors can pick their favourite work and the winner will be announced after the exhibition closes. The winner will receive a £50 gift voucher from Oink Gallery in Old Town.
Applications to enter are made online via the Museum and Art Gallery websitewww.swindonmuseumandartgallery.org.uk
