The London Group held its 82nd Open in 2015 with cash and material prizes worth over £5,000. Submission was made online for the first time and hundreds of artists applied and 71 got to exhibit their work alongside the Group’s members.
Works were shown in all mediums including painting, sculpture, drawing, print, photography, digital, mixed media and video. The work was shown over two exhibitions at the bright and cheery Cello Factory in October and November 2015.
