The Rugby Open is one of the highlights of our annual exhibition calendar and we are delighted that the Open is growing in its reach to the regional creative scene. 2019 has been a record-breaking year with over 400 artworks submitted and 193 selected for exhibition. The standard of art work continues to be high and we are more than pleased that the Youth Category is snapping at the heels of the adults in the quality of work.
Many of the works in the Rugby 2019 are for sale. Purchased artworks will be available for collection from Monday 13 January 2020.
Vote for the People's Choice – Ask the Gallery Assistant for a voting slip and let us know your favourite art work in the exhibition. There will be a prize awarded to the People's Choice as voted for by the public before 31 December 2019.
Thank you once again to the judging panel who embraced the difficult (but enjoyable) challenge of selection.
Finally, we would like to thank all the artists and makers who submitted work and for providing an exhibition of diverse and stimulating artworks for visitors to enjoy.
