Life: Full Colour Open Show 2022

The Life: Full Colour Open Show is back in 2022. If you’re a Wales-based artist looking for an opportunity to showcase your work in an independent gallery committed to living a life in full colour, our show is for you.

This year we’re encouraging artists to submit art that is “yn llawn emosiwn” or full of emotion and has evoked the strongest response from you. We want to see work that has stopped you in your tracks or work that you’ve battled with, but ultimately art that people will love to live with.

Our focus is on the visual arts so we are looking for artists who specialise in painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Up to three pieces of work can be submitted.

Wales Contemporary 2022 - Call for Entries

Now in its third year, Wales Contemporary / Cymru Gyfoes is an international open competition developed by the Waterfront Gallery with support from the Welsh Government.
Wales Contemporary invites artists from all around the world to enter work in 2D or 3D and any subject matter. Accepted mediums include painting, sculpture, drawing, print, ceramic, glass, textile, collage, mixed media, and more.
All of the entries will be considered by a prestigious panel of judges: Rebecca Salter RA, president of the Royal Academy; Morfudd Bevan, Curator of the national collection, the National Library of Wales; and Jill Piercy, curator and writer.
