The Derbyshire Open Exhibition returned to Buxton Museum and Art Gallery in summer 2022 after a two-year break.
Professional and amateur artists of all ages were invited to submit work inspired by Derbyshire. The original report said the panel selected 107 of 248 entries. A contemporary report said 25 entries came from artists under 21.
The artists were able to use a variety of materials to work with, including oils, acrylics, watercolours, drawing, print, collage, manipulated digital imagery or three-dimensional work.
In 2022, Cath Dunn won the Derbyshire Trophy for “Dark and White Peak”. The Young Artist Prize went to Esme Blue, aged nine, for “Music of the Woods: Found and Made Things”.
Visitors’ Choice
Visitors were invited to vote for their favourite artwork during the 2022 exhibition.
The exhibition ran at the museum’s former Terrace Road home until 2 September 2022. The museum has since reopened in a temporary building next to Buxton Library on Kents Bank Road.
