​OPEN CALL
We are looking for artists working with any medium (painting, sculpture, photography, performance, video art, animation, film, documentaries, poetry, writing) to be hosted either virtually and/or at Gallery No.32, London.

Outdoor Space:
Information for submissions of performances/installations to be hosted in the outdoor space at Gallery No.32:
  • Work will be displayed outdoors 24/7 and will need to withstand the elements, with wind and rain being a key issue to factor into your proposal.
  • We are especially keen to host participatory art. Encouraging an audience to take part promotes new emancipatory social relations. With members of the public able to approach the artwork, please consider any risks your artwork may pose to them.
  • The site will be open to the public 24/7. We cannot guarantee the safety of your work, so stability and security are important factors within the application. There are trees across the orchard that can be used to support this.
  • We cannot guarantee the availability of an electrical hook-up for sound, light etc. We encourage work that uses solar energy if necessary.
  • RE-USE & LEAVE NO TRACE. As with all work hosted at Gallery No.32 recycling of materials and use of found materials is encouraged. Work must also cause no damage to the surrounding natural habitat Gallery No.32 is hosted within.

Gallery No.32 has been a zero-expenditure project. Consequently, we have been able to retain the aim of a non-profit, non-expenditure project. Because of this, we do not charge for applications or use of the space, and in return we do not offer payment for participation. Gallery No.32 is a neutral zone, promoting creative exchange.

Testimonials

During the most challenging circumstances of a generation the guys went out of their way to make sure an exhibition happened. As an artist this gave me something to focus on and work towards. Gallery no.32 offers artists a valuable platform. Their support is a constant and capable presence in a wonderfully ego free environment.​" – Patrick Colhoun

​Thank you for providing such a unique opportunity. I love that the exhibition may also be experienced by viewers who wouldn't normally enter the gallery space. I met so many people just wandering by during install, asking questions about the work and excited to come back. It's great to have something so accessible and free to all. – Marie-Louise Jones

Challenge allows your practice to progress. I feel so lucky to have met curators like Meg and Kieran who are sourcing unusual exhibition spaces for artists. After two years with limited access to spaces Gallery No.32 are finding new ways to support artists. I had such a wonderful experience working with them and I hope to be able to continue working together in the future.​ – Tere Chad

I was impressed by the professionalism of the installation arrangements, publicity and catalogue. My work was seen by a group in Amsterdam, who have since offered me a residency and a place in their exhibition later this year. Some friends who live locally, raved how the show inspired and provoked discussion among their grandchildren. They visited twice.​ – Nicola Turner

What a pleasure it was to meet Megan and Kieran, an unstoppable force in the midst of lockdown, generous with their time and space and supportive throughout the WSP show. They have reshaped the notion of a Sculpture Park in their own name as a place for all. – Cat Robertson
