Goole Museum in East Yorkshire has issued a call for entries for its annual open exhibition, which this year is themed to celebrate the town's 200th anniversary. The Bicentenary Open Art Exhibition welcomes submissions in all subjects and mediums, including paintings, illustrations, textiles, sculptures, ceramics, and digital works, from local artists. Selected works will be displayed from March 21 to May 16.
The exhibition is significant as it serves as a community-focused event to mark a major local historical milestone, actively engaging the regional artistic community. It provides a platform for both established and new artists to showcase and potentially sell their work, reinforcing the museum's role as a central, welcoming cultural hub for the town's bicentenary celebrations.
