Exhibition Opportunity

Shape Open 2018

Updated: 11 August 2017

The Open is an annual exhibition of artwork by disabled and non-disabled artists created in response to a disability-centred theme. Held in high-profile, artist-led spaces such as the Ecology Pavilion, Bow Arts' Nunnery Gallery, Portobello Gallery, Yinka Shonibare's Guest Projects and Shape's own pop-up galleries, The Open provides a space where disabled and non-disabled artists can discuss views and ideas about issues and topics which are often sidelined within artistic debate.
This year’s theme is “Collective Influence”: what influences you? How does influence go further than inspiration? Influence has the power to provoke change, it has the capacity to affect society.
