The highly anticipated AIR Open 2024 is back for its seventh year, and this year's event promises to be the most expansive and exciting yet. Hosted at Rogue Artist Studios CIC in Gorton, the exhibition will feature an extraordinary array of contemporary art from some of today’s most innovative artists.

This year’s showcase presents a diverse collection of contemporary works including video art, fine art, drawing, sculpture, textiles, and mixed media. Each piece was meticulously selected by a distinguished judging panel through an open call submission process, ensuring a high standard of artistic excellence.

Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to cast their vote for their favourite works, adding an interactive dimension to the event.

​

Plus we also have a digital showcase of the longlisted artists. Though they didn’t make it into the physical exhibition, their art is so exceptional that we couldn't resist sharing it with you.

The exhibition kicks off with a private view on Thursday, August 15th 6-9pm, and will run until September 21st, culminating in an awards afternoon to celebrate the outstanding contributions of the artists. All are welcome to attend.

The AIR Open 2024 is proudly sponsored by Castlefield Gallery, Saul Hay Gallery, and Jacksons Art Supplies.
