UPCOMING EVENTS

The Tarpey Open aims to showcase the best of UK contemporary art by bringing together emerging and established artists to create a diverse and exciting group exhibition in one of the Midlands foremost Commercial Contemporary Fine Art Galleries.

Event Details


For 30 years, art enthusiasts, artists, and collectors in the North of England have celebrated the art of local talent at the biennial Art for Youth North exhibition. This long-standing event has not only showcased Northern Artists but has also raised substantial funds for UK Youth, a national charity dedicated to supporting young people.

What’s New for 2025?

In a bid to evolve and further support the local community, the exhibition is rebranding as The Big Art Show. All proceeds from the exhibition will now go to Yorkshire Children’s Charity.

This November I’m excited to take part in the Manchester Art Fair. Whether you’re a seasoned collector looking for the next big thing, or it’s your first time at an art fair and you are simply looking for the right piece to fill that space on your walls, then this is an event not to be missed.

You will also find The Manchester Contemporary which features young galleries and artist-led spaces, creating a critically engaged environment for artistic exploration and development.
