HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK
We’re inviting artists to submit A4 works on paper for an exhibition at the Open Institute.
The rules are simple:
⚡1 submission per artist
⚡A4 only — 210 × 297mm
⚡ Work on paper
⚡ Unframed — works will be displayed using archival pockets.
DEADLINE
Your work must arrive with us by Saturday 24th September 2026.
SENDING YOUR WORK BY POST
Please send your artwork to:
Unit 14b, Island Green Retail Park, Wrexham, LL13 7LW
Your package must be able to fit through a standard letterbox, so please do not send your artwork in bulky or oversized packaging.
A good test is simple: try putting the package through your own front door letterbox before posting it!
Please use packaging that can be reused to return your artwork.
RETURNING YOUR WORK
Please include a Large Letter postage stamp inside your package so that we can return your artwork to you after the exhibition closes on the 17th of October. If you wish to collect it you can collect it on the 18th and 19th of October between 12 and 4pm.
Please make sure the stamp is sufficient for the size and weight of your return package.
