The Sefton Open is an annual exhibition celebrating the creativity and artistic talent across the borough.
The exhibition features artworks from individual artists and local groups, including painting, print, ceramics, photography and textiles.

Visitors to the exhibition are encouraged to vote for their favourite artwork on display. The artwork with the most votes will be awarded The People’s Prize.
