The Open Gallery is looking for artworks on the theme of 'Textile Art' for an exhibition in February 2025. This exhibition provides artists with a great opportunity to gain greater exposure by exhibiting their work at the Calderdale Industrial Museum in front of a new audience.

The Open Gallery is looking for artists to display 2D and 3D artworks in the Calderdale Industrial Museum in Halifax. The exhibition will run from 8 February to 8 March 2025.

Artists are invited to produce and submit original work on the theme of 'Textile Art'.

We will accept artwork from any individual artist who lives/works in the UK and will be able to deliver and pick up their artwork to/from the gallery.

Any two-dimensional or 3D artwork on the theme of 'Textile Art' can be submitted through curatorspace.com.

The work can be in any media: painting, sculpture, textile, jewellery, artists' books, mixed media, etc.

• Free to apply. If accepted, there will be a participation fee of £40 per artist.
