An exciting exhibition providing a showcase for artists living and working in the West Midlands. The Open 2024 is sure to be an eclectic mix of artistic forms, with previous Opens featuring, amongst others, sculpture, photography, installation pieces, computer generated imagery and textiles.

Last seen in 2022, the Open has been a regular and popular feature of Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum's (LSAG&M) programme since the 1930s.

An independent panel of judges will select artworks for exhibition and the winner of the Open 2024 Award. They will receive £1,000, a Spotlight exhibition at Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum and an opportunity to talk about their work at a Friday Focus talk. Visitors can vote for their favourite artwork, which will receive the People's Choice Award of £500.
