This exhibition will be a showcase of local talent by and for the young artists in the area. It will be a fantastic opportunity to show some of the artwork you have made, and to be involved in an artistic community exhibition with friends. Visitors to the exhibition will be able to enjoy and purchase original artworks by local artists and creatives just like you!

Applications are open until 23rd April at 4pm.
This year’s theme is Summer Memories. Artwork selections will be made by a panel made up of the Andover Museum and Chapel Arts Studios Teams. We are looking for lots of creativity and different techniques, and a variety of media and styles will be considered for inclusion in the show.
There will be prizes awarded for Judges’ Favourite, with a prize of a £25 gift voucher for a local art shop or creative workshop of your choice, and a summer postcard design which will be on sale at both Andover Museum and Chapel Arts Studios to raise money for each charity to fund future community art opportunities.
In addition, for the duration of the exhibitions we will be asking visitors to the exhibition to cast their vote for their favourite artwork, both in person and on social media, to determine the winner of our Visitor's Favourite Award, who will also win a £25 gift voucher for local art shop or creative workshop of their choice!
Junior Open Open will be on display at Andover Museum and Museum of the Iron Age from Friday 2 May until Sunday 1 June 2025. The gallery is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10am - 4pm.
