Annual competition exhibition of artist work at The Lido Stores in Cliftonville, Margate.
Wednesday - Saturday 11am - 4pm
Opening reception: Saturday, 20th September, 7pm - 9pm
A group exhibition selected by gallery curator Kristen Healy and guest judge Sophie Von Hellerman, with one exhibition artist awarded a solo presentation in 2026.
The Lido Open 2025 sees the entirety of The Lido Stores occupied by more than 100 works. This, the ninth – and biggest – open call staged by The Lido Stores, introduces a cadre of phenomenal artists to the south-east’s arts scene, the majority of whom are exhibiting in Margate for the first time. The co-curation is always a talking point on opening night, the conversations between pieces inspiring vibrant discussion amongst artists and aficionados alike.
Expect an exhibition featuring a wide selection of contemporary artists, promoting excellence in contemporary art within the UK and Ireland.
