York Open

York Open, opened on Sunday 1st August at Bar Lane Studio's and The New School House Gallery

As of yet I have to confess I have only made it along to the Bar Lane Studio's half that features all the 2D works where as The New School House Gallery houses all the 3D and Photography. What I have seen so far does York proud, as with any Open art competition there are some hits and some misses but in all the standards are high. The works were judged by an independent panel, to top this off there is also a public vote going on so everyone can have there say.

The Bar lane Studio section is well laid out, they have followed a slight Royal Academy approach to the curations with different styles e.g. Landscape, portrait group together and also mediums with prints sitting in a nice little group. This gives the viewer a station at which to compare and contrast as well as adding context to the works.

All the work's are for sale, as you know Revolving Gallery are behind getting you all collecting Original Contemporary Art. We will be having a closer look to see if there are artists we want to champion as good investments in one of our future event but for now go and enjoy all there is to see there.

We will have breaking news shortly about are next event which will take place on 1st&2nd October.
