To coincide with Kingston Artists Open Studios 2026, the Stanley Picker Gallery will host a ten-day exhibition in our Project Studio featuring works selected through an open call. Titled Open Waters, the exhibition explores our relationship to water. The works span print, installation, painting, collage, photography, drawing and etching, engaging with childhood memories, local histories, reflections on water, and material investigation. These works by local artists bring our connections to rivers, seas, oceans, waterways, and swimming into the gallery.
