Our past open call
Rooted in Yorkshire (Woven by the wind)
In 2025 we ran a call for submissions for “Rooted in Yorkshire”, an art exhibition in Leeds celebrating the many facets of Yorkshire. This exhibition sought to explore Yorkshire through diverse artistic lenses, encompassing its landscapes, history, people, culture, and beyond.
We invited artists to contribute works that capture, reflect, or are inspired by any aspect of Yorkshire—whether it be its natural beauty, vibrant communities, industrial heritage, or everyday life. Artworks could celebrate Yorkshire’s charm, critique its complexities, or explore the personal connections and stories tied to the region.
Submission guidelines
This call closed on 5 February 2025.
- Mediums: two-dimensional artworks, such as paintings, photographs, drawings, and prints.
- Submission deadline: 5 February 2025
- Fee: £7 per accepted artist to help cover exhibition costs. Additionally, a 25% commission will be applied to any sold artwork.
- Each artist is welcome to submit up to 5 artworks for consideration.
- Submission should include an artist statement (200 words maximum) explaining the connection between the artwork and Yorkshire, as well as the title and dimensions of the piece.
