Event description
Friday 14 November – Saturday 20 December
Washington Open Exhibition shines a spotlight on the talented artists living and working in the region.
An open call invited applicants to creatively respond to the theme of ‘Our Freedom: Then + Now’. Taking inspiration from Arts Centre Washington’s involvement in ‘Our Freedom: Then & Now’ a national project reflecting what freedom means to local people and their communities, following the 80th anniversary of VE/VJ Day.
Last year we were blown away by the standard of the submissions and have selected work from more than 40 local artists working in a range of different mediums including painting, textiles, digital art, photography and sculpture.
