7th - 28th February

​

We are thrilled to announce the opening of our 8th Annual Open Art Exhibition, once again hosted at our new venue in The Canterbury Lofts and at Studio 40, Queen Street, Neath.

​

Our annual Open competition welcomes participants from near and far, showcasing a vibrant array of art and craft from artists and makers across Wales and beyond.

​

This competition provides a fantastic opportunity for contemporary artists to explore new works and innovative ideas, merging traditional techniques with creative originality. This year, we were fortunate to receive an exceptional selection of entries, making the judging process quite challenging. 

​

A heartfelt thank you to all our participants; we truly appreciate your engagement and wish you every success in your future artistic endeavours.

​

Many congratulations to this year's winners: First place was awarded to Glenn Ibbitson for 'The Ventriloquist', second place went to Graham Parker for 'Salt & Shadow', third place was claimed by Karen Langdon for 'Where Past Meets Present' and this year's 3D award, was given to Kit Garnett for 'Resting Wings'
