ArtSpace is excited to introduce its inaugural 'Open Wall' event, offering a unique opportunity for emerging artists to exhibit their work in a professional gallery setting.

Inspired by the audacious act of a freelance artist who smuggled his painting into the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, ArtSpace provides a platform for artists seeking to share their creativity with the public.

The Open Wall event will be held at the Ellen Nelson Gallery, featuring 20 designated 6’x6’ sections where artists can display their artwork. This initiative is designed to foster artistic expression and community engagement, much like the popular 'open mic' events for performers.

Event Details:

Artwork Submission Dates: During regular ArtSpace business hours (10 - 5) on June 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29, or until all spaces are filled - 65 Town Square

Opening Reception: July 9, 6:30 to 8:00 pm

Location: Ellen Nelson Gallery, ArtSpace, Lima, OH

ArtSpace is thrilled to offer this platform to artists who have never had the chance to exhibit their work in a gallery. The 'Open Wall' event is all about giving emerging artists a space to shine and be seen by the community, alongside established works of art.

This event is first come, first served, ensuring an equal opportunity for all artists to participate. It is a fantastic chance for new artists to gain exposure and experience the thrill of seeing their work displayed in a professional setting.
