Established the same year as the gallery in 1984, our Annual Open has been a rare opportunity for all artists at any stage of their career to submit work without a selection criteria, making it London's longest-running open and democratic exhibition.

Whether you're looking for that special gift or building your own art collection - here you'll find artworks to keep and love forever. Every purchase you make supports artists and Southwark Park Galleries to stay OPEN and FREE for everyone.

Each year a winning prize is awarded, generously donated by Breckman & Company. We are very excited to continue this year’s prize of £500 towards a solo exhibition in our Salter Space. The 2024 judges are Joy Labinjo and Paul Purgas.
