Open Call
We are holding our fourth open submission exhibition for local artists from 13th July – 10th August, 2024.
We invite submissions from artists based in North East England, working in two-dimensional media*, small sculpture, textile, ceramics, glass and jewellery. There is no theme for submissions. Please only submit work that is available to exhibit and for sale.
*Please note that we cannot accept photography, digital, moving image, audio or performance work.
The exhibition will include the opportunity to sell your work to our established network of collectors from our gallery space in central Newcastle. There is no application fee. Please note that commission on sales is 40% + VAT (to equal 48%)
The exhibition will be open from 13th July – 10th August, 2024, with a preview on the evening of Friday 12th July, which participating artists, families, friends and the public are invited to attend.

Contact the curator
• Work submitted must be for sale directly by the artist, not from a collection or other gallery.
• Submissions will only be accepted via Curatorspace. Please do not bring work to the gallery in person unless your submission has been accepted.
• Any delivery or collection costs are the artist's responsibility, and therefore this opportunity is open only to artists local to the North East.
• Please only enter if you can deliver the work in person (strictly no couriers) and collect the unsold works on the following dates:
Delivery: 10:30am – 5pm, 2nd – 4th July 2024
Collection: 11am – 5pm, 14th – 16th August 2024
Saturdays 11am - 4pm
Last year we received over 200 submissions. If you are not selected on this occasion this does not reflect on the quality of your work. We are aiming to balance the overall exhibition. Unfortunately, due to the number of predicted submissions and our Gallery Manager working part time, we find it difficult to offer individual feedback.
Our previous Open Exhibitions have been a great way for us to discover new talent. We are still working with artists from previous Open Submissions.
• 2D work should be less than 100 x 100 cm, including framing. To be included works on paper must be framed (this is because we use a gallery hanging system where the pictures hang on hooks attached to clear cables, connected to a rail on the ceiling). We are also a picture framing business, so we may be able to frame some work for the exhibition with due notice, although work that is already framed is preferred. The cost of framing is the artist's responsibility.
• 3D work should be no larger than 50cm in any dimension. Please note that we cannot accept work that is floor standing. We have a small number of plinths and surfaces to show small sculptures, ceramics and glass pieces. We have glass cases to display jewellery in.
You must have an account to send a message to the curator of this opportunity. Registering only takes a few moments. Once registered you'll be able to keep track of all of your submissions and get updates on upcoming opportunities.
