A group of “rejected” Merseyside artists have come together to put on their own exhibition in New Brighton in Wirral.
All of the artists who feature in the ‘Brilliant Rejects’ exhibition had their artwork rejected from The Williamson Art Gallery's Open Exhibition. Not wanting their hard work to go to waste, they decided to create their own.
Speaking to the ECHO, artist and organiser Alex May said: “The Williamson's Open Exhibition is great and it happens every year or so, but COVID stopped it. I had a painting selected just before the pandemic hit, so although it was chosen, I never got to see it in the gallery. I just had to go online and see it.
