About

Selected work is shown in a curated exhibition at a central London venue.

The call is open to artists and creative practitioners across all media, including painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, installation, sound, moving image, digital media, performance, architecture, design and research-based practice. Selected artists receive an online profile and feature, professional documentation, press release, installation support, wall texts, a private view, sales access with 90% of sales retained by the artist, and letters of recommendation.

Entry fees start at GBP 30 and depend on the artworks and requirements. Apply via Google Form by 13 November 2026. Exhibition dates are not stated.
