We are delighted to present our 6th Annual Open Art Exhibition taking place once again this year at Studio 40. 

Our annual Open competition is open to anyone and is a celebration of art and craft from artists and makers throughout Wales and beyond. 

​

Three prize-winners are selected from the exhibited entries each year, with a first prize of a solo exhibition at the gallery, second prize of £100 and a third prize of £50. The winners will be announced on the day of the opening on Saturday 4th February.

 

The selection is made by a changing panel of invited selectors each year, thus encouraging various viewpoints. This year, the judges were last year's winner Heather Littlejohns, Colin Davies and Lloyd Williams.

​

The competition provides a great opportunity for contemporary artists to experiment with new work and fresh ideas, combining traditional skills with creative originality. We received a host of impressive entries again this year and we are delighted to share a selection of the winners and selected entries with you on our video of the exhibition which is showing at our gallery in Queen Street.
