❄️ Submissions are open for our upcoming winter show ❄️
Winter is a season of contrasts where shadows define light and cold heightens warmth: consider the stark brightness of snow against a midnight sky, the way moonlight sharpens bare branches, or the quiet comfort of a hearth glowing through frosted windows. It’s a time when shadows stretch longer and even the smallest flame can feel profound.
We encourage both emerging and established artists to explore the interplay of light and shadow, warmth and cold, presence and absence, and, as always, submissions are open to all mediums and disciplines. Email us a photograph of the work you’d like to submit, and tell us a bit about yourself and your practice.
We welcome your creative interpretations of the season.
Submission deadline: 28th November Maximum works per artist: 3 Submission Fee: £10 per work Drop off dates: 29th Nov/3rd Dec/5th Dec Exhibition dates: 6th Dec – 9th Jan
As always, we must be mindful of our environment in the Pentagon Centre and we cannot display any blatant profanity, graphic imagery, or nudity, so please cover all depictions of such with a copious dusting of snow.
