Wi’ tippeny, we fear nae evil;
Wi’ usquabae, we’ll face the devil!

—Tam O’ Shanter by Robert Burns (1791)

WE FEAR NAE EVIL, and we invite you to be fearless with us.

For this seasonal open call we’re going back to our roots, exploring the strange and magical stories of Scottish Folklore, the ones passed down for generations and still powerful enough to be told again. We invite you to send us your visions of traditional tales, fear, myth, and magic: give us your Cutty Sarks, your brownies and bogles, chapman billies and drouthy neebors; your selkies, banshees, kelpies, and cailleachs; your uncanny landscapes, stone circles, rocks, and rivers; your hagstones, talismans, rowan, and heather.

We welcome your interpretations of the theme! Email us a photograph of the work(s) you would like to submit, and tell us a bit about yourself and your practice. As always, you don’t have to be from Glasgow to apply, and submissions are open to all mediums and disciplines and to both established and emerging artists.

We must be mindful of our environment in the Pentagon Centre and we cannot display any blatant profanity, graphic imagery or overt nudity, so please re-imagine all depictions of such appropriately.

Submission Fee: £10 per work
Drop off dates: 24th, 25th, 29th September
Exhibition dates: Thurs 1st Oct – Fri 16th Oct
