Calling early career artists and collectives!

We are now accepting proposals for exhibitions at Orleans House Gallery.  

Our Emerging Artists programme (September 2023 – June 2024) is for those establishing a career, focussing on creatives within the first 10 years of their practice. Through this programme we want to understand how we can support artists in sustaining themselves in the early stages of their work.  

All propositions are welcome, across visual and contemporary arts.  For this year’s programme there is a fee of £1000 to support artists in developing necessary documents for the exhibition, site visits, and install and de-install days. There is also a production support budget of £500.   

Artists are offered the Stables Gallery at Orleans House Gallery as a space for experimentation and building conversations with audiences. Artists can exhibit works to sell or present a show of interactive ideas and works in progress for audience participation and feedback. Artists may propose a collaborative, theme-based exhibition, or a wholly innovative arts-based project. We are interested to hear your ideas. This programme is an opportunity to develop your producing skills and work on the production of your exhibition from start to finish.   

We are not able to pay artists to create new work for the show, so ask that the works submitted already exist.
