OPEN CALL

‘Art in the Grey Area’

We are excited to announce the Gray Area Gallery’s first open call for exhibition artworks under the theme of ‘Art in the grey area’ !

From the day we opened Gray Area, the ethos was to be a high-quality art space for under-represented voices and mediums in the art world, along with this we wanted to display art that falls into a ‘grey area’, we want to champion art and artists who excite us and do something different!

So, for our first open call we have set the theme of ‘grey area’ and we want to see works that are doing something different, or pushing a boundary.

How does your artwork push boundaries? Do you use an unusual material or method of creating? Are you depicting often overlooked subject matters? Does your art highlight an under-represented community or champion an unusual subject matter?

These are just some examples of how your work could fit our brief, and we are excited to hear how your work falls into the grey area of the art world, or how does it align with our values!
