Inside the Selection Process: Behind the Scenes of the OPO Open Exhibition

Behind the Scenes of the OPO Open Exhibition: How Art Gets Selected

This is a special bonus episode for artists! If you're listening as the podcast is released, the Old Parcels Office Open Exhibition 2025 is still on – so why not check it out and experience the artwork for yourself? 15th February-9th March, 2025.

In this episode of The Inquisitive Artist, I share my experience as one of three selectors for the Old Parcels Office (OPO) Open Exhibition in Scarborough. Joined by Jacqui Barrowcliffe and Paul Bonomini, we offer a behind-the-scenes look at the challenging selection process, discussing what makes artwork stand out, common mistakes artists make when applying, and how decisions are made. Whether you're an artist submitting to open exhibitions or just curious about the curation process, this episode provides valuable insights into the world of art selection.
