Join Rosalux in welcoming the artists of Open Door XVIII to our gallery for this wonderful exhibition. It’s going to be a big one this year, literally. Our juror, Ellen Mueller has chosen 49 artists for inclusion in this year's show making it the most ambitious Open Door to date! Ellen had this to say about this year's selections,
“ As an artist, it feels novel to be on the other side of the jurying process, rather than sending off applications into the void. I was guided by joyful subjectivity, influenced by my personal preferences, the scale of the gallery, current events, the weather, and other completely unpredictable factors. The only guideline I set for myself was that I must make all my selections within 24 hours, which I did. It was a pleasure to sort through all these submissions, and I look forward to hearing about what chance themes others see across the works once they are installed in the gallery.”
