This continues to be one of the largest open art shows in the UK, this year with around 1,500 hundred works by over 500 artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is something quite special about this show &#8211; it was very evident that everyone handing-in their work was so happy to be involved, to be a collective part of something bigger, and this seems to be building further year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-2-1024x451.jpg\" alt=\"Opening night at The Big Art Show 2024, gallery 2\" class=\"wp-image-51889 lazyload\" style=\"width:806px;height:auto\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-2-1024x451.jpg\" alt=\"Opening night at The Big Art Show 2024, gallery 2\" class=\"wp-image-51889 lazyload\" style=\"width:806px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-2-1024x451.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-2-480x212.jpg 480w, https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-2-150x66.jpg 150w, https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-2-768x339.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Opening night at The Big Art Show 2024, gallery 2<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The show is now firmly a part of Paisley\u2019s arts calendar. Opening night, on the 30th of August, was much-anticipated and was a joyful occasion, with hundreds of participating artists taking the opportunity to show work to family and friends and share in a celebration of everyone\u2019s endeavours. Fourteen prizes were awarded to artists by supporting organisations and individuals &#8211; just a part of the widespread support that the show has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost all works are for sale, with many at very affordable prices. Sales were very brisk on opening night which was very encouraging: Outspoken Arts and Art Paisley Ltd. will look to further their many valuable community arts projects with funds raised through commission by the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-1-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51888 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-1-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51888 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-1-1024x539.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-1-480x253.jpg 480w, https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-1-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-1-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Opening-night-at-The-Big-Art-Show-2024-gallery-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what\u2019s in the show this year?
