This collaboration is designed to promote arts education, foster greater engagement within our community, and expand our network of supporters. There are more than 160 artworks which have been entered in the Open. 

Through this exhibition, we aim to support both emerging and established artists while enriching the cultural experiences of our region.

This juried exhibition celebrates the talent and creativity of contemporary artists working across all mediums.

New for 2025! Thanks to our peers at The Arts Area, we are now offering 3 scholarships to support local or emerging artists, ensuring they can participate in this prestigious exhibition.

​The deadline has passed for entries.  The Open Exhibition will open on May 1.  ​​Interested in supporting this event and making a bigger impact?
