Manchester Open 2024
–
Taking place every two years, the Open Exhibition is the biggest celebration of Greater Manchester’s creative talent. Between Saturday 3 February and Sunday 28 April 2024, the HOME Gallery walls will be filled with 480 artworks created by you, selected by a panel consisting of art experts and community representatives.
Open to all, those who already identify as artists and those who don’t, the Manchester Open brings together artwork including paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, ceramics, digital and mixed media, video, audio and more.
Now in its third iteration, we welcome entries from people of any level of experience, background, including established professionals, students, graduates, new and emerging talent, enthusiastic amateurs and first-time artists. Artists will be able to submit one artwork so make sure you submit your best piece!
We are delighted to once again be working with Castlefield Gallery on the selection of this year’s Manchester Open Awards. Three artists will be awarded with artist development packages managed by Castlefield Gallery and HOME. In addition, a fourth artist will receive the HOME award for a solo exhibition in HOME’s Granada Foundation Galleries, which will include in kind support and one-to-one mentoring. As always, the People’s Prize will return, giving our gallery visitors the opportunity to vote for their favourite artwork.
