Arts Review

How quickly a year passes, and already we are marvelling at this year's entries for The White Horse Gallery's Annual Open Art Exhibition 2018.

Having received over one hundred submissions, this exhibition showcases a varied and eclectic mix of subjects, styles, mediums, textures and themes. Since the Annual Open Art Exhibition debuted two years ago, subjects such as the White Horses of Wiltshire, the local landscape and animal portraiture have proved popular. Alongside these, this year's entries range from traditional observational drawings, to abstract paintings, collage pieces and photography.

For any artist, seeing your work displayed in a proper gallery is terribly exciting. Angus MacLennan, manager of The White Horse Bookshop who installed and catalogued this exhibition, voices a unanimous opinion about the show, 'this year, more than any other, I am struck by the quality of artistic expression that lies within our community (and beyond).'

There is something for everyone, and if you have not yet been to see the exhibition, I strongly encourage you to do so. If you missed the deadline for entering a piece this year, or feel inspired to submit something for 2019, then keep an ear out for all the information that will be released next Spring.

The Annual Open Art Exhibition 2018 is at The White Horse Gallery from
3rd May - 2nd June.
