Current Opportunities

We are here to remove the noise, not add to it.

Where artists arrive - and the world takes notice.

Artist First. Always. Forever.

We’re curating new exhibitions across London, New York, Athens, Paris, and Milan and more.


Whatever your medium — painting, photography, sculpture, video, or mixed media — we’d love to see it.

Our shows are open theme. Fewer artists, deeper focus, fair visibility.

Submission is free. If selected, a participation fee covers venue and promotion.

Physical or digital — we make sure your work arrives where it belongs.

Submit your work.
Simple. Honest. Artist-first.

There is a computer monitor displaying art, and a colorful floral painting on the wall behind them.

Arrival Gallery Open Calls

A global route for independent artists.

Arrival Gallery presents recurring artist opportunities across cities, cultures and creative communities worldwide.

From London to Manila, Arrival is building a new global route for artists.

Instead of one isolated open call, Arrival Gallery runs a connected international calendar. Artists can apply, join the shortlist, and be considered for the cities that best fit their work, goals and timing.

The Cities — Annual Shows

One gallery. Many routes into the art world.

Arrival Gallery is building one of the only truly international open call programmes for independent artists — connecting exhibitions across Europe, Asia, the UK and the United States.

What artist Are Saying

“Communication was excellent and photography provided of the event was great. Thank you!”

— Jas Christie

“I was delighted to take part in one of the recent art shows curated and organised by Arrival Art Gallery in Athens. The presentation of the artworks on screens was amazing—high quality and beautifully displayed. The gallery space itself has a very cool atmosphere, not a typical gallery setting. The team was very attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely supportive of the artists.”

— Susana Igreja

They're dedicated, offer great care and concern for the art pieces and with the artist, and trully care about making it a positive experience”
