It’s time to launch this year’s Cranleigh Arts Open Exhibition which will take place in our gallery space from 16 September – 11 October and the theme is ‘Water’. Artwork for the exhibition will be selected by an independent panel, and the winners will be chosen by our judges on Saturday 20 September. The winning artist will receive a two-week solo exhibition in our gallery during 2026, while the runner-up and the winner of a public vote will share an exhibition.

The rules are as follows:

  1. Up to 4 pieces allowed for submission on the theme ‘Water’
  2. Work to be suitably framed with D rings on the back
  3. Box frames need to have neat edges with no pins showing
  4. Clip frames will not be accepted
  5. Exhibitors are responsible for insuring their own work.

If your work is chosen for exhibition there will be a £5 hanging fee per entry and if your work is sold Cranleigh Arts will retain a commission of 30% +VAT.

Please submit your entries by 16 August by completing the submission form (download by clicking HERE) and sending it along with photos of your pieces to openexhibition@cranleigharts.org

Cranleigh Arts cannot be held responsible for damage, loss or theft of any artwork or possessions of the exhibitor and the team at Cranleigh Arts will be responsible for the hanging and display of all art work.
