Locals’ art goes on display at Usher Gallery

Visitors now have the chance to view more than 120 works of art from Lincolnshire’s artists in a new exhibition at Lincoln’s free public art gallery.

More than 400 artists answered The Usher Gallery Trust’s open call for entries for their second open exhibition, ‘Art of the Now’, which celebrates the variety of artists living in Lincolnshire.

In total, judges received 900 pieces of artwork, from paintings and photography to collage and ceramics. The youngest entry came from a budding artist aged just five!

Ian Walter, chair of the Usher Gallery Trust, said: “We like to give Lincolnshire’s talented artists the opportunity to showcase their work at the county’s foremost art gallery and they certainly didn’t disappoint us with their response!

“The expert judging panel were most impressed by the creativity and skill on show and had their work cut out narrowing the selection to 126 pieces for display.

“The Trustees of the Usher Gallery Trust very much hope that you enjoy this exhibition of art, made in Lincolnshire.”

‘Art of the Now’ is on display at The Usher Gallery until 19 October 2025.
