Open Doors, Open Futures - Art Open Call

When the UK left the EU, we lost valuable opportunities for youth in the UK. We lost Youth Mobility, which allowed young people from the UK to freely live, work and study in Europe. We also lost access to Erasmus+, which provided funding and opportunities for them to access education and training in Europe. The benefits of such schemes are manifold, including; 

  • Education, language and skills acquisition.

  • Personal and professional development.

  • Economic growth, revitalising sectors with labour shortages.

  • Improving international relations and fostering intercultural dialogue.

  • Tackling inequality by providing opportunities for youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Open Call for Light Up Kilburn 2026: Artwork for Gobo Projectors

Are you an artist with a passion for light and an interest in creating artworks to be produced as gobo projection slides? Hive Curates and Camden Council invites local and national artists to submit expressions for Light Up Kilburn 2026. Help us illuminate Kilburn Grange Park during one of the darkest winter months and create a unifying space for the local community.  

Net-Zero Press

In histories of art as in contemporary practice, we rarely consider where ink wiped off a printing plate ends up or how reams of trial proofs get recycled. When we celebrate end products of creation, we silence and conceal the flows of waste to which all making inevitably contributes. NET-ZERO PRESS, a new impact project funded by the University of St Andrews and let by Dr Ruth Ezra, aims to work with contemporary stakeholders, educators, and practitioners across the printmaking landscape of Scotland to "start from trash" as we trace waste flows in print shops and act on these data to propose strategies for making studio spaces (from classrooms to open-access workshops) less toxic and more sustainable.

Photobook CollectionContributions

Our photobook collections intention is to build one of the most diverse, and inclusive, free public access photobook collections in the world. Accessible to everyone to explore and be a part of. Our aim is to champion photographers and small publishers by giving a platform for promotion and shared collective learning.
What are we looking for? 
We are after personal projects that reflect a photographer's artistic output, whether that be a personal or commercial project. This can encompass any genre of photography, method of binding/printing and selected publishing house, we look for uniqueness and cherish alternative or low fi printing quality:
  • Mainly self-published photobooks, zines or magazines.
