The Open Art show
The Open Art Show is an affordable, accessible exhibition with pieces starting at £50.
Hosted at Notting Hill's Tabernacle, the show celebrates emerging talent with themed exhibitions that inspire unique submissions. Artworks are affordably priced, making it easy for new collectors to start their journey.
We actively support and mentor first-time artists from submission to sale, fostering a nurturing environment that builds confidence, encourages connections, and helps you share your art with the world.
How much is it?
It's free to apply to the Open Art Market. If successful, our stall fee is £80 including a covered stall, 1.5m x 1m in size.
Artists can hang work from bars or use string to create a back support to display their pieces and feel free to really create their own space with their own personality.
