Sharon James, previous winner of the Open and this year's judge said,
Winning the THG Open 2023 was a pivotal moment for me, affirming my voice as both an artist and mother.
My #artistmother exhibition celebrated the strength of motherhood. It is an honour to be asked to judge the 2025 Open - a full circle moment in my creative and professional journey.
Gemma Girvan, THG Curator, said,
I always look forward to the breadth and innovation of work in the THG Open. It is one of my favourite exhibitions in the programme, offering us a unique opportunity to celebrate and support creativity in the South West.
It is a privilege to be able to provide a platform for both emerging and established artists.
