National Open Art Exhibition

The Minerva Theatre once again, plays host to this year’s National Open Art Exhibition but with a difference... The works will be exhibited on stage within the Theatre.

Following its resident 5 weeks at Somerset House in Central London, attracting over 10,000 visitors, and an exclusive show of the winning works at Pallant House Gallery, the entire 123 works will be exhibited in the theatre over the Christmas period from 17 December to 3 January 15.

NOA operates an annual open art competition, which aims to nurture creative talent from around the UK, providing a truly open and fair platform for both amateur and professional artists and this year saw the highest ever number of entries. NOA was founded by the Duke of Richmond of Goodwood House almost two decades ago, and is run by the Chichester Art Trust, a not-for-profit Arts charity.

NOTE: opening times on Christmas Eve, Sunday 28 December, Wednesday 31 December are 10am - 4pm.
