THE COT OPEN brings together emerging and established UK artists to create a dynamic exhibition of fresh, compelling work for our audiences and collectors.
This year’s theme, INSIDE |OUT, invites artists to explore the sensation of stepping beyond oneself — that out‑of‑body moment, a sense of dislocation, a separation from time, identity, or place.
We welcome bold interpretations across both 2D and 3D media. Whether literal, abstract, emotional, or conceptual, we’re seeking a diverse and thought‑provoking collection of works that challenge perception and turn the familiar inside out.
