Open 2021

16 Jan-27 Feb 2021

Overview

2021 is the 110th Anniversary of Grundy Art Gallery opening its doors to the people of Blackpool and beyond. Grundy will be celebrating this anniversary with a range of exhibitions and events that will look at the past, current and future activity of the gallery; the first of which is OPEN 2021, Grundy’s annual open exhibition. OPEN 2021 aims to be illustrative of the diverse range of artwork being produced throughout Blackpool and the Fylde Coast today; in line with Grundy’s founding purpose to show the ‘art of the day’ and echoing Blackpool’s motto of ‘progress’, this year, we are asking for artworks that have not been shown at the Grundy before and which have been produced within the last 12 months. For 2021 we have decided to waive the submission fee for artists to submit their work making the exhibition FREE to all eligible artists.
