Annual Open Exhibition
The Exhibition, open to non-members, is held in the Victoria Art Gallery every year. It is the highlight of the Society’s calendar and a big social event not just for Bath's artistic community, but also for others in the wider locality.
Our 120th Open Exhibition has now closed, so thank you to everyone who has been involved in its creation and to all those visitors and buyers who have supported and enjoyed it.
Our 121st Open Exhibition will open on 19th September until 7th November and submissions will begin again in June 2026.
In the meantime, if anyone has not yet collected their artwork from the gallery then please do so before Friday 13th February with proof of identification and materials for transportation. Remember the opening times are any day from 10.30am until 5.00pm, except on Mondays. Please be aware gallery staff will be very busy preparing for the next exhibition, so you may have to wait a little while.
