We are thrilled and excited to finally offer Gallery At Home's very first Open Call exhibition. Submissions are now open for the Summer Show 2025, which will run for six weeks across four beautifully curated rooms at Gallery At Home. 

The artworks selected for the show will be chosen by Sonia Pang (owner and curator of Gallery At Home) and Katherine Sheers (artist and gallerist at Gallery At Home), with esteemed artist Sam Lock joining Sonia and Katherine to select the shortlist.

One outstanding entry will be awarded a £1,000 cash bursary.

There are no conditions as to how this bursary is spent, but we hope it will be used to facilitate and advance your art practice.

The ethos of Gallery At Home has always been to bring diverse and provocative artworks to our community. Our open call endeavours to gather emerging and established artists from across the UK to come together and produce a show of vibrant, new, exciting work for our collectors to view and enjoy. 

We receive hundreds of artist submissions to our gallery, and this open call gives us the opportunity to potentially showcase some hidden stars that we have yet to discover.
