OPEN CALL - The Winter Exhibition 23/24

Submissions for this year's online Winter Exhibition are now open.

Our fourth year of this large mixed online exhibition, we can never wait to announce this show and see what we receive in response to its open call. Making the most of the vast online space that is our website, these exhibitions have in previous years bought together almost 100 artists and makers, connected with buyers all over the world and led to long standing gallery relationships.

Artists and makers in all medium are encouraged to submit - whether you have one stand-out piece or a whole collection you'd like to put forward, whether you are an established name or have only recently begun making, we would love to hear from you.

The exhibition represents work online directly from your studio so the work isn't needed to be physically sent until the work is sold.

It is open to international submissions. For international submissions, an additional amount for delivery to the UK will be included on selling prices as a base price.
