WILTSHIRE CREATIVE
SUMMER OPEN EXHIBITION 2022
AT SALISBURY ARTS CENTRE
12 July – 3 September
Wiltshire Creative’s Summer Open Exhibition this year starts at Salisbury Arts Centre on 12 July. This year expect to see 82 pieces by 72 different artists.
The Summer Open Exhibition celebrates the talent of Southwest based artists at any stage of their career. Work on display includes painting, drawing, photography, ceramics, textiles, collage, and mixed media. Like in the previous years, this is a selling exhibition which offers the perfect opportunity to acquire work created locally.
The exhibition, which runs until 3 September 2022 was selected this year by textile artist and lecturer Sharon Kearley, by architect, artist, and lecturer Tim Scrace, and by Lara Hoad, artist and young arts voice.
As part of the exhibition this year there will be two prizes. The Memory Fine Art Prize will be a public vote announced at the end of the exhibition, with the winner receiving £200 and the opportunity to exhibit at Memory Fine Art Gallery in Salisbury. The Compleat Artist Prize is a prize for a young artist aged 25 or under. The winner will be selected by Pierre Barton-Pink, proprietor of the Compleat Artist Shop.
This annual exhibition with the spotlight on creativity flourishing in the Southwest at Salisbury Arts Centre has over the years become an important element of the Summer cultural calendar in the city.
The exhibition’s curator, Wiltshire Creative Resident Artist Mirka Golden-Hann, said: ’Wiltshire Creative is very proud of supporting Southwest artists by creating opportunities to showcase. Our Summer Open with its myriad expressive voices is a prime example of this.’
Salisbury Arts Centre is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am-3pm. For more information about the exhibition and café visit www.wiltshirecreative.co.uk
