We are now accepting entries for our Surf & Turf Exhibition at the Badger in the Wall Gallery located in Clapham, North Yorkshire. This exhibition is our first open call exhibition of 2025. It is free to submit.

Badger in the Wall Gallery is looking for work to feature in our month long Surf & Turf Exhibition where we are encouraging submission of work inspired by Land and Sea.

We have a fantastic Gallery space in the village of Clapham, North Yorkshire, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and are really excited to welcome submissions for this exhibition. 

If you have never participated in an exhibition before and are not quite sure where to start, then we would love to see your submission. Likewise, if you are an exhibition regular, again, we want to see your work. 

Work of any medium will be considered, and artists are invited to submit up to 3 pieces of artwork they would like to put forward for the exhibition. 

Artists who are selected will have their work displayed in our gallery for the duration of the exhibition, in an online gallery on our website, and printed in the exhibition programme, which will be available to purchase from the gallery or can be posted out.

How to Submit

Artists are encouraged to submit up to 3 pieces of work for consideration. It is free to apply, with only successful artists paying an exhibition fee of £30 per accepted work. Please make your submission via CuratorSpace using the link on this page.

Photography Submissions

For photography submissions, printing and posting, we can offer printing, mounting and displaying your work. For this exhibition, we will only be printing in A4 size. 

This saves you the stress of having to print and post your work to us. It also allows photographers anywhere in the world to participate in the exhibition. There is an additional fee of £7.50 for this service.
