&Gallery Open Call 2025

&Gallery is thrilled to announce that submissions are now open for our 2025 Open Call Exhibition.

We invite artists living and working from the UK and worldwide to submit their artwork for consideration in a group exhibition scheduled for April 2025. The selected works will be carefully curated in a physical group exhibition at &Gallery in Edinburgh. This year, we have invited gallery artist Michael Craik to join the selection panel.

Michael Craik first exhibited with the gallery in 2017 and has since participated in several group shows, most recently presenting his third solo exhibition. His practice explores the interplay of colour and repetition as a method of producing quiet, contemplative work concerned with colour, material quality and process.
