Blank Wall Gallery 2026: Two Free Photo Calls for Winter and Abandoned Buildings
Blank Wall Gallery is advertising two different international photography open calls for its upcoming exhibition calendar. 'Winter' closes on 12 November 2026, while 'Abandoned Buildings' remains open until 10 December. The current calls list says the initial photo submission is free for both. Their themes and selection dates differ, so entrants should use the application instructions attached to the particular exhibition.
Winter: many climates and interpretations
This exhibition seeks original photographic responses to the winter season, which can include snow and celebration but also storms, floods, rain, domestic spaces and challenging conditions. The gallery welcomes the many ways people encounter winter across different regions. The deadline is Thursday 12 November, with selected photographers expected to be announced 14 November. The planned exhibition runs from 4 to 16 December 2026.
Abandoned Buildings: public memory and built spaces
The second open call asks photographers to reflect on abandoned buildings and sites as evidence of migration, industrial change, decay and social memory. The entry deadline is 10 December; the anticipated decision is 12 December. The gallery's calendar lists 15–27 January 2027 as the exhibition period. Original documentary, architectural and conceptual photographs may suit the topic when they accurately present the premises.
Costs, copyright and gallery credibility
Blank Wall Gallery is a photographic exhibition venue with an extensive archive of themed shows featuring international photographers. Although the current listings call submissions free, they do not by themselves establish that printing, selection-related fees, travel, shipping or optional services are free. Check each exhibition's detailed call before committing. Artists should retain original image rights, verify permission to photograph private property, and understand any license for gallery publicity or catalogues.
