Ready, Steady, Paint!

St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery is calling on artists to get creative and submit their work to the St Barbe Open Exhibition 2025. Whether you’re an amateur artist or a seasoned professional, this is your chance to showcase your work in one of the South Coast’s premier gallery spaces. The deadline for online submissions is Sun 16 Feb 2025, with the exhibition opening Sat 22 Mar. The Open welcomes up to two submissions from each artist, encompassing paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, or textiles. With no theme, the only selection criterion is quality. Guidelines are available on the St Barbe website.

In addition to the main exhibition, the Young Artists’ Open invites entries from young creatives aged one to 18. Young artists are encouraged to submit works up to A3 size, either mounted on card or on box canvas; four prizes for young artists are available.
