Call for Entries: Turner Contemporary Open 2021

Turner Contemporary will be ten years old in 2021. During the pandemic the arts and creativity have played a vital, and perhaps more visible, role in many of our lives. Back in 2010, we hosted an Open exhibition in a temporary space on Margate High Street that celebrated the creativity of the artistic community across Kent. To mark our 10th anniversary year, we want to hear from practicing artists living and working in Kent & Medway or those working nationally and internationally who studied in Kent & Medway.  

You are invited to submit work for an open exhibition which will span all four of Turner Contemporary’s galleries. Submissions are now open and will close on 31 January  2021. Works will be selected by the end of March 2021 and the exhibition will open in summer 2021 and last for six months.   

Our aim is to celebrate and showcase the wealth of artistic talent living, working or trained in Kent; to include artists at all stages of their careers; to develop relationships with artists in or from Kent and to increase awareness of artists working in Kent amongst audiences outside the county.  

This call is open to artists of all ages living and making work in Kent and those working and exhibiting nationally and internationally who studied in Kent.  

The Selection Process 

The process will involve community groups curating and selecting the exhibition, working closely with the Turner Contemporary programming team. 

We want this exhibition to champion the ideas and creativity of artists living and working in Kent. 

Submit your entry today!

Submissions are now open and will close on 31 January 2021. 

We are working in collaboration with Zealous, a submissions platform, to host this open call. The submission process will take you to their website.
