Central Art Gallery is a real gem. Located above the library on Old Street in Ashton-under-Lyne, these beautiful gallery spaces were once the studio spaces for the George Hegginbottom Technical Arts College. Today the former studios play host to a varied programme of temporary exhibitions with artwork from regional artists.

Open Art
Tameside’s annual Open Art Exhibition
The Tameside Open Art Exhibition is back on the walls again. This annual exhibition has been a favourite in the gallery calendar for many years. Unlike other Open Art Exhibitions, the Tameside Open Art exhibition has no selection procedure, so it is an opportunity for anyone who lives in the borough to get their art works on the walls of the gallery. This year 159 works have been submitted – which shows the interest in art and creative talent in Tameside is still going strong.

The Open Art exhibition is a great chance to see the quality of work being produced by professional and amateur artists within the borough. Paintings range from traditional watercolours to more abstract oils of a variety of subjects around the borough. There are also photographs, and mixed media work.

The exhibition has been hung in themes this year in the following groups: Land and urban views, still life, animals, abstract work and finally the human figure. This gives the visitor a real chance to compare and contrast different styles of artwork on a similar subject.

The exhibition is an inspiration to anyone to pick up a paintbrush and have a go!

Most of the work within the exhibition is for sale at very reasonable prices
