Take your art career to the next level with a solo exhibition in Central London. Artists are invited to apply for a solo exhibition in a spacious contemporary gallery in Kennington, London SE11. This is an open call for a fully supported solo show, from curatorial consultation through to catalogue and closing. International artists are welcome.
Dates & Venue
Installation: Wednesday, 10 February 2027
Opening evening: Thursday, 11 February 2027
Exhibition: 11-16 February 2027 (six days)
Venue: Gallery space in Kennington, London SE11. The venue includes two gallery spaces, one of which is offered for a solo exhibition.
The Space
The gallery offered for the solo exhibition is a white-cube space of approximately 67 sqm, with four clean white walls, a concrete floor, and natural light from the skylights above. There are no windows, so every wall is fully available for hanging and display. Wall heights range from 3 metres to 6 metres, allowing room for large-scale works, immersive installations, and sculpture, as well as more intimate presentations.
Deadline & Notification
The deadline for applications is Wednesday, 25 November 2026.
All applicants will be notified of the outcome by 30 November 2026.
The Invitation
We invite artists working in any medium (painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation, or otherwise) to apply for a solo exhibition. There is no set theme. Artists are free to present their own, and where helpful, we offer support in identifying the theme that best reflects the work. We are not looking for a particular aesthetic. We are looking for coherence: a practice with a point of view, ready to hold a room on its own. While all approaches are welcome, we are especially drawn to work that explores emotional depth, introspection, and the layering of human experience.
What's Included
Curatorial consultation and guidance, from initial planning through to installation, including support in developing the theme and framing of your exhibition
