For 60 years the Williamson Open has celebrated the talents of artists with connections to the Wirral peninsula. In recognition of the plethora of artistic talent within the wider Liverpool City Region of which we are part, however, in 2024 we extended the eligibility criteria to all artists working in or with connections to Wirral, Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, Halton and St Helens.
Entries have been submitted and selections made, and we’re now looking forward to welcoming you to the Williamson Open exhibition 2024!
