Celebrating amateur and professional artists from across Sussex

The biennial WTM OPEN exhibition returns with an extraordinary range of work from local artists on display in our gallery spaces.

Emma Walder, WTM Fine Art Curator, ‘I love working on the open exhibitions – it’s an opportunity to meet local artists and participants, as well connect with artists and communities from neighbouring towns which often means welcoming many new faces. Diversity, creativity and community spirit threads through the whole ‘open’ exhibition process, and the selected exhibition is always an unknown vision until the very last minute. I’m really looking forward to it.’

The OPEN23 comes two years after the huge success of WTM’s OPEN21 which featured over 160 pieces across two galleries and included a huge range of work with diverse and contrasting styles, and a variety of different mediums including 3D sculpture and photography, alongside work in acrylic, oil, pencil and pen.
