The Harley Open

The Harley Open invites artists – whether professional or amateur – to submit their work for the chance to be included in this much-loved exhibition.

For the 2024 show, over 1200 artworks were entered into the competition, and 185 were chosen for the final exhibition.

The result is an astonishing array of 2D and 3D art, all made by artists who are living and working within 100 miles of the Harley Foundation.

“Selecting the artworks for an Open Exhibition is always a difficult business, but this year with over 1200 submissions to whittle down – it was truly a mammoth task. On display are the pieces that we felt made an interesting and engaging exhibition. The pieces that reflected our region, made us smile, had a distinctive voice, a personal feel, or amazing technical skill.” - Lisa Gee, Harley Foundation Director
