VIP Preview - Artizan Summer Open

Celebrating Visual Arts in Torbay

The Artizan Summer Open Exhibition is back, and this year we’re on tour! Thanks to the sponsorship of London based Edinburgh House Estates, we’ll be bringing our Summer Open to a prominent high street location on Torquay’s Fleet Walk, with a 4-week long exhibition in which we hope to offer space to 100+ artists from across Torbay, South Devon and beyond.

This is a great opportunity to display multiple artists’ work at the height of our season and we will be seeking submissions from artists across the South West to take part. We anticipate that this will be a major event on Torbay’s Cultural Calendar, offering local residents and visitors an exciting arts space to explore at the heart of the town centre, and providing an invaluable opportunity to show the best of our local talent. We’ll also be inviting national and international artists to submit work, welcoming creatives from further afield into the Bay to demonstrate its value as a place to show and exhibit

This will be a selective exhibition with works from within the South West and work from further afield judged separately by Artizan Gallery and a group of invited judges. As always, the theme is completely open and we welcome submissions from artists of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. This year we've introduced a "Young Persons" entry allowing are talented local art students to affordably access the exhibition whilst being given the opportunity to show their work alongside their more experienced peers. We're also working with a number of associated organisations to facilitate the delivery of the exhibition , allowing us to offer benefits to their members when applying.

We're excited to once again be continuing the Artizan Summer Open and to be growing it like never before for 2018! Make sure to sign up to our newsletter for updates and check out all the links below for more information!
