ART ROUNDHAY PARK - AUTUMN SHOW 2024 - OPEN CALL September October 31.8.24 - 24.10.24


Art Roundhay Park is located at The Mansion Conservatory within the beautiful surroundings of Roundhay Park, Leeds.


We’re now planning our next show and are seeking new art and artists to join us.

This is an Open Call;  there is no restriction on medium or subject matter, and there is no requirement to do a voluntary shift.

We showcase works by artists David Lyon Art, Samantha Ward Art, Ryoko Minamitani and other local and regional artists and printmakers.

We're looking for a cross-section of work that is created and produced in Leeds, Yorkshire and the north of England: original art, prints and ceramics, work that is new, original and created in 2024!

We're also looking for designer-makers who create gifts that are unique and represent their art.



There is no restriction on the type of work, medium or subject matter; all we ask is that it is new (created in 2024) and that it has never been exhibited before.

Exhibition + Gallery Shop: 10 am - 4 pm daily, 7 days a week.



It's free to submit, and the show is free to visit.



Theme/Criteria:

• Your work must be created and produced in Leeds, Yorkshire or the north of England; 
• Your work must be new, original and created in 2024;
