Leamington Art Gallery and Museum has launched "The OPEN 2026," a major group exhibition dedicated to showcasing contemporary artists from the West Midlands. This long-standing tradition, which dates back to the 1930s, features a diverse range of artworks selected from creators living and working within the region.
The exhibition serves as a vital platform for regional talent, maintaining a nearly century-old commitment to local artistic engagement. By offering free public access to a wide variety of regional works, the gallery reinforces its role as a central hub for the West Midlands art community and continues a significant historical legacy of open-submission shows.
