Coventry Open 2025: A showcase of work by West Midlands artists.

About

We are thrilled to announce the thirteenth Coventry Open exhibition, set to launch in 2025! This prestigious event aims to showcase the quality and diversity of art being produced in Coventry and the wider West Midlands region, providing valuable selling opportunities for artists.

Building on the success of the Young Artist's Showcase introduced in 2023, we are excited to see the return of the Young Artists category, allowing artists aged 15-18 the chance to exhibit their work.

Visual artists working in any medium are invited to submit images and supporting information about their work via our online submissions portal. A £1000 prize will be awarded to one winning entry chosen by an independent judging panel, alongside an additional prize for the Young Artist's Showcase winner.

The exhibition promises something for everyone, featuring an eclectic mix of artworks that will appeal to visitors of all ages. Past exhibitions have included a wide variety of artworks in different mediums such as painting, drawing, print, sculpture, photography, ceramics, moving images, sound, textiles, mixed media, and installations.

We are dedicated to ensuring that Coventry Open is accessible, welcoming, and inclusive for all artists. See all key dates and additional support we will be offering artists below.
