Open Exhibitions

Artist Carolyn Murphy has work in four Open exhibitions across the North West and North Wales this Autumn. Her works were selected by the Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington, The Whitaker in Rossendale, Ty Pawb in Wrexham and The LAKE Gallery in West Kirby.

“I’m excited to have work on display in the area. These are all galleries that I love and it’s my first time in the Haworth Open, the Whitaker Open and Ty Pawb Open! I am delighted to have had work selected for The LAKE Gallery Open for the second year running. I can’t wait to see this year’s show,” explained Carolyn.

You can currently see ‘Above the Noise I’ and ‘Fragile Structure V’ at the Haworth Open and ‘Stone Circle’ at the Whitaker Open, just 10 minutes’ drive away. Both exhibitions are on until 13 December. The shows are excellent and include a wide range of media.

The Ty Pawb Open in Wrexham is open to the public from Saturday 14 November until 27 February 2027. The official opening event is on Friday 13 November from 5.30pm – all welcome! Carolyn’s monotype ‘Fragile Structure IV’ will be part of this show.

Finally, Carolyn’s collagaph ‘Above the Noise II’ was selected for The LAKE Gallery Open 2026, which opens at the beginning of December.
