Claire Longrigg, Assistant Curator of Exhibitions at Ferens Art Gallery, said: “The Open Exhibition gets more and more popular each year.

“The Ferens Art Gallery and selectors David Chalmers and Gerardine Mulcahy are looking forward to viewing entries from not only well-established and popular artists but new and emerging talent.”

The exhibition also offers visitors the chance to buy an original work of art at a reasonable price.

Artists can enter up to three piece of work. For each piece submitted there is a non-returnable handling fee of £3, and £1.50 for concessions.
