AUGUST | Open Call Exhibition | Golden Hour

Submission Deadline: Monday 3 August, 11:59pm

A celebration of late summer in its richest, most radiant form.

Bathed in warmth, colour and the lingering glow of long August evenings, Golden Hour captures the beauty of the season at its peak. Inspired by honeyed sunlight, ripened landscapes and the softness of day turning into dusk, the exhibition invites visitors into a world of abundance, nostalgia and gentle optimism. Golden tones, natural textures and sun-washed palettes create a sensory experience filled with warmth and possibility.

Keywords: warmth, abundance, glow, nostalgia, harvest, radiance, softness, freedom, sunlit, richness

Inspiration Prompts: golden wheat fields, sunset skies, amber glass, dried grasses, citrus tones, linen textures, wildflowers, Mediterranean summer, honey light, long shadows

This open call is for emerging and established artists working in any medium, including (but not limited to) painting, drawing, print, photography, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, installation, and time-based work.

All submissions will be reviewed by the curatorial team. Selection will be based on how strongly the work responds to the theme, alongside considerations of artistic quality, diversity of practice, and how works sit together within the exhibition as a whole.

Please complete the submission form carefully, providing clear images and concise supporting information. By submitting, you confirm that the work is available for the exhibition period and that you are able to deliver and collect work in line with the schedule below.

This exhibition encourages bold, honest work that prioritises expression and material truth over finish, and rewards courage, experimentation, and directness.

We are committed to creating an open, welcoming, and inclusive exhibition programme. We encourage submissions from artists of all backgrounds and levels of experience, including those who may face barriers to accessing the arts.

If you have access needs, require adjustments to the submission or installation process, or would like to discuss your work in a different format, please get in touch. We are happy to have a conversation and will do our best to support you.
