COURTYARD OPEN 2026

Courtyard Gallery, 3 April – 2 May 2026

The 19th Courtyard Open is now on display in our main gallery. Once again, the submissions were vast and the judges had an extremely difficult task of selecting the work for the show this year.

The result though, is a wonderfully diverse selection of paintings, sculptures, textiles and prints, carefully curated by our gallery team into a culturally rich and inspirational exhibition.
