5th – 29th April 2023
Thrilled that my Painting ‘Marginal Shift’ is officially this year’s winner of The Art Prize at The Williamson open 2023.
As such it is being purchased by the Gallery for it’s permanent collection and judging by the other exhibitors and past winners is in some very good company.
This year’s exhibition is a showcase of the fascinating and diverse visual arts being created locally.
The exhibition runs 5th April – 29th April 2023 in Galleries 1 & 2 (closed Good Friday 7th April, Gallery 2 closed from 12pm on 14th April). For full visiting information check the gallery’s Visit Us page.
Every year since 1962, barring 2021 due to the pandemic, the Williamson Open has aimed to reflect the current active visual arts scene in Wirral. It’s open to artists and photographers who have connections with Wirral through birth, education, residency or occupation. Work in all media is accepted.
