Arrival Gallery is inviting artists to apply for its upcoming London exhibition, taking place from 10–12 July 2026.
This opportunity is open to artists working across painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, mixed media, illustration, printmaking, and other visual practices.
Artists can apply for physical or digital presentation options, making the exhibition accessible to both UK-based and international artists.
Maria from the Arrival Gallery team is currently speaking with artists about the London open call and helping applicants understand the format, selection process, and available options before they apply.
London remains one of the most active and visible art cities in the world. For emerging and independent artists, showing work in London can be a meaningful step — not because of hype, but because of context. The city brings together collectors, curators, artists, cultural workers, visitors, and creative communities from across the world.
Arrival Gallery’s London open call is designed for artists who want their work to be seen in a focused, professional setting without being lost inside an overcrowded exhibition.
The July 2026 London exhibition will take place from 10–12 July and will include both physical and digital presentation options. This allows artists to choose the format that best suits their work, location, budget, and goals.
Physical & digital showcases
For artists based in the UK, the physical option offers the chance to present work in person and be part of a real-world exhibition environment. For international artists, the digital option provides a more accessible way to take part in the London programme without shipping work or travelling.
Arrival Gallery works with artists across a wide range of mediums and career stages. The focus is not on fitting into one narrow style. The focus is on work with intention, clarity, and presence.
Over the past 12 months, Arrival Gallery has developed an international programme across 11 cities and 10 countries, creating opportunities for artists to show work beyond their local audience. London is a key part of that programme.
This open call is suitable for artists who are looking to build visibility, strengthen their exhibition history, connect with an international gallery platform, and present their work within a clean, curated environment.
Applications are reviewed by the Arrival Gallery team. Artists selected for the London exhibition will receive further details about participation options, deadlines, artwork requirements, and next steps.
If you are unsure whether the London exhibition is the right fit, Maria from the Arrival Gallery team can guide you through the opportunity before you apply.
