Ipswich Annual Open Exhibition
9th April – 5th May 2022
The Ipswich Art Society has held its Annual Open Exhibition since 1874, pausing only for the two World Wars and more recently the Covid-19 pandemic. This spring marks its return and their 143rd year!
A selection of artworks from the public, as well as the Friends and Members of Ipswich Art Society, will celebrate local creativity.
Alongside the Open is a special feature exhibition showcasing Society members Judith Foster and Claire Lambert, whose work can be found in national and international private and public collections.
