Sefton Open

#seftonopen #southport #atkinsonartgallery

Visiting Southport on a warm, sunny day, after a walk along the front, it was a nice break to visit the Atkinson Art Gallery.
Not knowing what to expect we were faced  with the Sefton Open Exhibition.  This proved to be an interesting interpretation of an open exhibition as most of it was sectioned off into a series of sections, linked to the many groups around the area. With most opens I have visited artists submit their work and are then selected. Here the groups were all given an area for their own members. 
Having visited the gallery in the past it was surprising to see how many groups were represented and the amount of rooms used. There was a full range of abilities on show, and it was interesting to see the superb abilities of so many artists and such a wide range of subject matter.

​Below are just a few of the groups represented in the exhibition.

A fascinating exhibition and well worth a visit.
