Open Call For Artists 2026: Exhibit Your Work In London, Paris and New York

Looking for an open call for artists? You're in the right place.

Streeters Gallery is running open calls for emerging artists who want to exhibit their work in real gallery spaces across London, Paris and New York. No experience needed. No CV required. All mediums welcome.

If you've been searching for a call for artists that actually leads to something real, keep reading.

What is an open call for artists?

An open call is when a gallery invites artists to submit work for a chance to exhibit. Unlike traditional gallery representation where you need connections, a portfolio full of past shows and years of experience, an open call is open to everyone. You submit your work. If it fits the show, you're in.

The problem with most open calls is that they lead nowhere. You pay an entry fee, submit your best pieces and never hear back. Or you get accepted into a show with no audience, no promotion and no collectors.

Streeters Gallery does things differently.

How our open call works

Applying takes a few minutes. You submit images of your work through our website. Our team reviews every single submission. If your work fits the show, we confirm your spot.

That's it. No selection panels. No long waiting periods. No confusing application forms asking for your life story.

Once you're confirmed, you bring your work to the venue or post it to us. We handle everything else. The space, the lighting, the promotion, the opening night.

What mediums do we accept?

Everything. Painting, photography, illustration, digital art, mixed media, sculpture, printmaking, collage, textile art. If you made it, we want to see it.

We don't have a house style. We don't curate based on trends. We look for work that is strong on its own terms, whatever the medium.

Where are the exhibitions?

We're running shows in three cities this year:

Paris: 4 to 6 September 2026 London: 11 to 13 September 2026 New York (Tribeca, 101 Reade St): 20 to 23 November 2026

Each show runs over a weekend. Friday evening opening night, Saturday and Sunday open to the public. New York runs an extra day because the audience demands it.

You can apply for one city or all three. Some artists do a physical exhibition in one city and add digital spots in the others to get exposure across all three audiences.

Who sees your work?

This is the part that matters.

Streeters Gallery is the sister gallery of The Holy Art, one of the largest international contemporary art galleries for emerging artists. The Holy Art has exhibited over 25,000 artists across nine cities including London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Milan, Athens, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Brighton. The community spans over 235,000 collectors, curators, buyers and art enthusiasts.

When you exhibit with Streeters, your work goes in front of that entire network. Collectors who buy from our shows. Curators who follow what we do. Art lovers who attend every opening.

You're not exhibiting to an empty room.

What makes this open call different from others?

Most open calls charge a fee, put your work in a room and forget about you. Here's what you get with Streeters:

Wall space in a curated group show in an underground venue with real energy.

Promotion of your work across our network before, during and after the exhibition.

Access to an established audience of collectors, buyers and curators built over six years by The Holy Art.

Zero commission on sales. If someone buys your work, the money goes directly to you.

A physical or digital exhibition option so you can participate even if you can't travel to the venue.

Friday evening opening night with a real crowd, followed by two full days open to the public.

Do I need experience to apply?

No. We don't ask about past exhibitions, degrees, representation or awards. We look at the work.

Some of our exhibiting artists are showing for the first time ever. Others have years of experience. Both are welcome. The only thing that matters is whether the work is strong.

How to apply

Go to streetersgallery.net and submit your work through our open call. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and spots are limited for each city.
