The Swansea Open is an annual art competition open to anyone who lives or works in the City & County of Swansea (SA1-SA9) and is a celebration of art and craft from artists and makers throughout the city.
The selection is made by a different panel of invited selectors each year, thus encouraging diverse viewpoints annually. The exhibition seeks to reflect critical and cultural awareness, with a broad range of work by professional and non-professional artists.
In addition, the Friends of Glynn Vivian Art Gallery will also award a prize for a selected artwork. The works will be on display at the Gallery until Sunday 20 September, with many of the works for sale as part of the exhibition, and details of the winners can be found on the gallery website here:
