Rugby Open 2019 and Rugby Youth Open 2019, an exhibition of contemporary art.
About
The Rugby Open is one of the highlights of our annual exhibition calendar and we are delighted that the Open is growing in its reach to the regional creative scene. 2019 has been a record-breaking year with over 400 artworks submitted and 193 selected for exhibition. The standard of art work continues to be high and we are more than pleased that the Youth Category is snapping at the heels of the adults in the quality of work.
Many of the works in the Rugby 2019 are for sale. Purchased artworks will be available for collection from Monday 13 January 2020.
Vote for the People’s Choice – Ask the Gallery Assistant for a voting slip and let us know your favourite art work in the exhibition. There will be a prize awarded to the People’s Choice as voted for by the public before 31 December 2019.
