Harris Open 2021
The Harris Open is an energetic and quirky exhibition created by the local community of Preston with hundreds of fantastic entries received every year.
The exhibition showcases the amazingly diverse talents of Preston-based artists and makers with work including painting, photography, digital, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and more. The Harris Open has been running for over 70 year and is one of our most loved exhibitions. This year we have received over 250 artworks many of which are portraying family life and nature.
