Weather Forecast - Open Call
Open for submissions - Deadline 31st August 2025
We are now accepting entries for our exhibition 'Weather Forecast' at the Badger in the Wall Gallery located in Clapham, North Yorkshire. We are encouraging submissions that have a weather theme or link to the climate for this month long exhibition. It is free to submit.
The weather is a national obsession for those of us living in the UK. It therefore only seems right to give this obsession its own dedicated exhibition.
We are looking for work to feature in 'Weather Forecast' where we are encouraging submissions of all mediums.
Work can be anything with a connection to the weather from moody landscapes to sunny streets, stormy seas or calm lakes. Alternatively your work may be inspired by the weather forecasts such as the shipping forecast. Or you may be considering the changing weather we are experiencing with our changing climate. The possibilities are endless!!
Any medium will be considered, and artists are invited to submit up to 3 pieces of artwork they would like to put forward for the exhibition.
If you have never participated in an exhibition before and are not quite sure where to start, then we would love to see your submission. Likewise, if you are an exhibition regular, again, we want to see your work.
Artists who are selected will have their work displayed in our gallery for the duration of the exhibition, in an online gallery on our website, and printed in the exhibition programme, which will be available to purchase from the gallery or can be posted out.
How to Submit
Artists are encouraged to submit up to 3 pieces of work for consideration. It is free to apply, with only successful artists paying an exhibition fee of £30 per accepted work. Please make your submission via CuratorSpace.
