St Barbe Open<br />
Exhibition <strong>2024</strong><br />
St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery is thrilled<br />
to announce the return of the St Barbe Open<br />
Exhibition, showcasing the extraordinary talent<br />
of artists from Hampshire, Dorset, and beyond.<br />
Running until 11 <strong>May</strong> <strong>2024</strong>, the exhibition is in its 24th year and is<br />
now firmly established as a highlight in the local arts calendar.<br />
Hundreds of artworks are submitted for consideration by our panel,<br />
who carefully curate the exhibition and award prizes to outstanding<br />
entries. Prizes sponsored by Kate Welsh, Coastal Gallery and<br />
Beaulieu Fine Arts are awarded for the best print, abstract and<br />
work by a non-professional artist. The exhibition not only celebrates<br />
artistic talent within the community but also provides an opportunity<br />
for artists to gain exposure and recognition for their work.<br />
The St Barbe Open Exhibition is not only a showcase of art but also<br />
an opportunity for visitors to acquire high-quality, affordable pieces for<br />
their collections. With a wide selection of artworks and mediums on<br />
display, there is something to suit every taste and budget.<br />
Alongside we run a Young Artist’s Open which welcomes entrants<br />
from one to eighteen years old to exhibit alongside the adult entries,<br />
encouraging our young people to get creative from their earliest years.<br />
Visitors to the Open are invited to vote for the Chalk’s Gallery<br />
People’s Choice Award. Vote for your favourite artwork and the artist<br />
could win £200!<br />
