Exeter Contemporary Open 2019

Exeter Contemporary Open returns, presenting a significant showcase of emerging and established contemporary visual artists from across the UK. Established in 2006, Exeter Contemporary Open has come to be recognised as one of the UKs most prominent contemporary arts competitions.

This year marks the return of the exhibition, which took a break in 2018 whilst our gallery spaces underwent a significant refurbishment.

This year’s exhibition includes a shortlist of fifteen artists, selected from hundreds of submissions by a panel of industry specialists critic and curator Sacha Craddock, artist and 2006 Turner Prize nominee Mark Titchner and Phoenix Gallery Curator Matt Burrows.
