We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting the first East Quay Open in Watchet, in Summer 2024. We are inviting artists from Somerset and further afield to submit works which explore and reflect on the theme of identity.

An independent panel of judges will select artworks for the exhibition based on the theme, and the works will be on display in Gallery 1 at East Quay from Saturday 25 May – Monday 2 September 2024. There will be an opportunity to win a range of prizes worth £1000 each, including the Audience Favourite Award, as voted for by visitors during the course of the show.

To run alongside the Open, we are excited to be showing artist Jake Elwes’ multi-channel video installation in Gallery 2, titled: The Zizi Show – A Deepfake Drag Cabaret.
