Manchester Open Exhibition on Wednesday 26th August 2026

Home, 2 Tony Wilson Place, Manchester, M15 4 FN

Taking place every two years, the exhibition brings together over 400 artworks by artists at all stages of their careers, from first-time exhibitors to established professionals. Selected by a panel of art experts and community representatives, the show spans a wide range of disciplines including painting, photography, sculpture, textiles and digital work.

We will make our own way there.  Refreshments are not provided but there are several venues within the complex.  If travelling by tram, get off at Deansgate, Castlefield.

We will have a guided tour of the exhibition, meeting our guide in the foyer at 1.30 pm.  Entry is free, but we will make a donation of £5.00 in cash, per person, payable on the day.
