Time running out for Lincolnshire artists to showcase work at The Usher

Time is running out for Lincolnshire artists to showcase their work to thousands of people in the city’s Usher Gallery this summer.

The deadline for submissions to The Usher Gallery Trust’s open exhibition, called ‘Art of the Now’ is Monday 7 April 2025.

The judging panel will consider all work from Lincolnshire-based artists that has been completed in the last three years. Paintings, video, photography, textiles, drawing, collage, mixed media, works on paper and sculpture will all be accepted.

Age and experience are no barrier to entry as the open exhibition looks to celebrate the wide variety of Lincolnshire’s art scene.

Laura Garner, exhibitions and interpretations assistant at The Usher Gallery, said: “We’re incredibly excited to open up The Usher to showcase some of the best work from Lincolnshire’s amazing local artists.

“We’ve already received lots of wonderfully creative entries but still have room for a few more so don’t miss the fantastic opportunity to display your art in The Usher. On top of that, there’ll also be five cash prizes up for grabs too!

“We’re always blown away by how talented the county’s artists are, and we can’t wait to display all your fantastic submissions in all their glory.”

Submissions are open until 7 April, and it is free to enter work.
