Entries will be judged by Thomas Dukes, curator of Open Eye Gallery at Liverpool; Rabab Gazoul, founding co-director of Gentle/Radical, Cardiff; and Simon Job, winner of the 2017 Wrexham Open.

“Very popular event”

Cllr Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Communities, Partnerships, Public Protection and Community Safety, said: “The Wrexham Open is a very popular event in Wrexham’s arts calendar, and I’m very pleased that this year’s Open will be hosted between both Tŷ Pawb and Undegun at the same time.

“The Wrexham Open provides an excellent opportunity for amateur and budding artists to pit their work against that of seasoned professionals, and it’s an excellent showcase of some of the talented artists we have here in Wrexham.”
