Open Gallery Abstract Art Open Call for UK-Based Artists — Apply by 4 November 2026
Overview Open Gallery CIC in Halifax is accepting submissions for Abstract Art, a group exhibition scheduled from 25 November to 12 December 2026. The call is for artists based in the United Kingdom and focuses on work that explores abstraction through colour, form, material, gesture, process or concept. Open Gallery describes itself as an independent contemporary visual-art space founded in 2022.
Eligible work Artists may propose two-dimensional or three-dimensional work. The listed media include painting, sculpture, photography, textiles, jewellery, artist books and mixed media. Applicants should select work that can be installed and presented safely in the Halifax gallery and should provide clear images and accurate details. This is a curated exhibition opportunity, not an employment vacancy or a grant.
Who may apply The official call is limited to UK-based artists. Applicants should make sure they can deliver or arrange transport of selected work to the venue and collect it after the exhibition under the organiser’s stated timetable. The organiser’s page should be consulted for the precise number of works, image specifications, dimensions, display requirements and any insurance or liability conditions.
Fees, sales and deadline There is no fee to submit an application. Artists selected for the exhibition are charged a £40 participation fee. Open Gallery states that it takes 20% commission on sales. The submission deadline is Wednesday 4 November 2026. Artists should assess all participation, transport and presentation costs before applying and confirm the latest terms directly with the organiser.
How to apply Submit through the official CuratorSpace opportunity page linked below. Complete the requested artist and artwork information and upload suitable images before the deadline. Questions about selection, access, installation or sales should be directed to Open Gallery using the contact route shown on the official listing.
