Young Artists Open Exhibition 2025

Sugar Store & Foyer Gallery | Tue-Sat, 11am-5pm | Free

We invite you to explore Kendal from the individual viewpoints of local Young Artists, aged 4 – 18 years, who have submitted their work for our first-ever Young Artist Open Exhibition.

The artists have entered artworks of various forms, including paintings, sculptures, photography, abstract and digital work under the theme of ‘Your Kendal’.  Inspiration has been taken from people, favourite places, buildings, beautiful natural spaces, fond memories, or a complete reimagining of the town in a fantastical way.  Come and celebrate our local young artists with this showcase of their talent.

These selected works will be exhibited in the Brewery Arts Sugar Store Gallery from 25 July to 13 September 2025.
