Now in its second year, the St Wilfrid's Hospice Open Art Competition is a unique opportunity to gain exposure in a prestigious gallery whilst supporting a vital local charity.
In 2009 the competition attracted submissions of over 250 art works from 164 different artists, raising £6500, and we hope to build on this for 2010.

About Outside In
Outside In was set up by Pallant House Gallery in 2006 to offer opportunities for marginalised artists.
The main vehicle for Outside In is a biennial open art competition. It offers a series of awards and an opportunity for the award winners to have either a residency or a solo exhibition.
Outside In is trying to create a level playing field where access to the art world is possible for all who create. The aim is not to turn people into ‘artists’, but to challenge the art world to embrace and make itself accessible to a wider range of individuals and ways of making.
