Un-Corked
Art Without Limits at Windridge
Key dates
Still Beautiful by Rose McManus Coleman
Featured artwork: In Still Beautiful, a delicate pink flower contrasts with a vibrant backdrop of bold colors, textures, and unexpected patterns. The surprising interplay of natural beauty and abstract elements invites us to look beyond the familiar and discover something new. In many ways, it captures the spirit of Un-Corked—the freedom to explore, experiment, and find inspiration in the unexpected.

Theme for Submissions: Un-Corked
Just as uncorking a bottle releases its character and complexity, Un-Corked invites artists to unleash their creativity, explore new possibilities, and express their unique artistic vision. Whether bold and energetic, subtle and reflective, or playful and unexpected, this exhibition celebrates the freedom of artistic expression. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly, bringing their own perspectives and creative approaches to the show.
