| We’re excited to launch our 2025 Public Open Exhibition Visual Art Call Out!
Calling all UK based *disabled visual artists! We’re thrilled to open up entries for our 2025 Public Open Exhibition. An annual event, the Public Open Exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your art and maybe even win a prize!
Running throughout summer, the exhibition celebrates ‘The Art That Difference Makes’, and we need your work to make that happen! We’re looking for the best contemporary 2D visual art from across the UK, produced by *disabled, learning disabled, and/or neurodivergent artists.
Submissions must be 2D but you decide the format – pencil, acrylic, watercolour, oil painting, paper art, printmaking, calligraphy, embroidery, textile, photography, digital print – let your creativity flow! |

*By using the term ‘disabled person’ we include anyone who identifies as being learning disabled, disabled, D/deaf, neurodiverse / neurodivergent and those experiencing chronic illness, mental health conditions, and more. We understand that different people prefer different terminology. You don’t have to prefer the term ‘disabled person’ to apply.
Deadline for entries Monday 9 June at 9am.
