The Harley Gallery
Free entry
The Harley Open exhibition returns with 138 works on show by artists, makers and heritage craft practitioners from across the region.
Selected from more than 700 submissions, this year’s exhibition celebrates the breadth of creativity found within 100 miles of the Harley Foundation. From photography, painting and pottery, to canal art and clog making, the exhibition brings together a rich mix of contemporary art and heritage craft.
For the first time, the 2026 Harley Open invited submissions of freestanding work and actively encouraged applications from heritage craft practitioners.
The result is their most diverse open exhibition to date, featuring both fine art and works made using traditional craft skills, including over 15 crafts considered endangered or critically endangered in the UK.
Bringing together established and emerging makers, visit the Harley Open 2026 to discover the breadth of creativity, skill and talent in the region.
