Open To All Tour

Open To All is my touring exhibition in partnership with Open Table Network (OTN) showing in Cathedrals and town centre Churches over 2023 and 2024.  We start in September 2023 in Newcastle, move to Sunderland Minster in November, Sacred Trinity Salford in December, honour LGBTQ+ History Month at Coventry Cathedral February 2024, wind our way into the Southwest and finish up in July 2024. The calendar and map will be populated as each venue is finally agreed.

OTN exists to encourage welcoming church spaces for members and allies of people who identify as LGBTQ+.  We decided to work together because we share a commitment to inclusivity in the name of God.  We a have chosen city centre locations because they attract tourists who visit Cathedrals and notable buildings.  Such visitor attractions are an ideal place to show via my artwork that inclusivity is possible, imaginable even, and shows up in images depicting God topics.  If visitors can literally see people in God gatherings with no barriers, it may be possible to imagine Christianity with the Gospel of wide ranging love – Open To All. This was written about the exhibtion’s stop in Salford.

Our relationship is that the exhibits are of my work, and 40% of sales from the exhibition (originals and ordered prints of any work sold because people learned of it from the exhibition - excluding the cost of framing) will be given to the OTN. Some prints and cards may be sold by the Cathedrals or Churches.

Please contact me if you would like prints. The following formats are available. All prints on paper are sold on ivory mounting board. Frames may be ordered. Prints on canvas are stretched on wood.

Art Prints: Art Prints are created with laser printers onto quality wood pulp art paper.

Gallery Poster: Gallery Poster is a typical art gallery format with laser printer on poster paper, supplied rolled in a tube.

Giclee Prints: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto quality cotton rag paper. They’re known for their vibrant colours, fine details, and archival quality. The term "giclee" comes from the French word meaning "to spray," referring to the precise inkjet spraying process used in their production. They’re guaranteed to last at least 100 years (though no one’s been alive long enough since development to know…)

Embellished Giclee Prints: Embellished Giclee Prints are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-drawn elements to make each cotton paper print unique. The result is a print that combines the advantages of digital printing with a personal touch.

Giclee Prints on Canvas: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto artist canvas material. This gives the print a texture and appearance similar to a traditional painting on canvas so that they resemble original paintings.

Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas: Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-painted elements to make each print unique. Embellishments added on top of canvas give the print a more three-dimensional painterly effect.
