Now in its tenth year, the English Riviera Summer Open returns for another vibrant celebration of contemporary visual art from across the UK. Hosted by Artizan Collective CIC in their central Torquay gallery, the exhibition transforms the walls of this much-loved cultural space into a rich, salon-style showcase of original work, selected through open submission. This year’s show promises a dynamic mix of emerging and established artists, with a wide range of media, styles, and voices. Expect painting, printmaking, photography, textiles, sculpture, and more, all curated with an emphasis on quality, originality, and diversity. With all works for sale and new pieces regularly rotated in, it’s the perfect destination for collectors, browsers, and art lovers alike. Proceeds from the exhibition will support Artizan's future development projects. Our Summer Open is now a well-established event on our annual calendar having originally started purely by chance a decade ago. Each year the event sees us build on previous shows as we welcome established and emerging artists working in many rich and diverse mediums and styles to Torbay for our personal homage to the great institution that is the Royal Academy Summer Show. Starting at the end of June and running through until late August, the exhibition promises to be as rich and diverse as in previous years.
