West End Art Studio Open Call

OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS

In collaboration with Mallow Arts Festival, West End Art Studios is delighted to announce an open call for submissions to our group exhibition, taking place in July–August 2026.

This exhibition celebrates creativity, inclusivity, and the vibrant diversity of artistic expression within our community and beyond. We welcome applications from both emerging and established artists working across all visual art forms, with submissions of up to three pieces in any medium. 3D work is particularly welcome for this show.

Our aim is to create a dynamic, engaging showcase that reflects a wide range of perspectives, practices, and creative voices. Submissions including proposals for artist talks or workshops will also be considered.

Submission Guidelines

Artists may submit up to three artworks, all of which must have been created within the last three years (2023–2026). Each application must include a current artist CV and high-quality, high-resolution images of each artwork (max file size 10 MB).

Submit your application through our Google Form: https://forms.gle/CfjkrNYrkqdxaray8

If you experience any difficulties with the online form, please contact the studio team at westendartstudios@gmail.com to arrange an alternative submission method.

Deadline: 18th June 2026
