The next exhibition in the BobCat Gallery virtual space will be an open call celebrating the best of the new season - fresh, inspiring original works and handmade limited editions that bring to life the spirit of the equinox; the perfect balance of night and day. The exhibition will feature regular BobCat Gallery artists as well as other international artists working in a diverse range of media and styles. 

This exhibition is an open call for original artworks and handmade limited editions.

Artists can apply with a selection of up to four pieces for the chance to take part.

It is free to apply, and there is no size limit for artworks.

The show will run for the whole of September 2026 via the BobCat Gallery website, with a virtual curator’s tour on Monday 7th September from 6.30 pm - free tickets will be released via www.ticketsource.co.uk/bobcat-gallery

As well as featuring across the BobCat Gallery website (c. 40,000 visitors annually) and social media profiles (Instagram over 3,700 followers, LinkedIn, Facebook and Bluesky), the exhibition will be promoted across digital arts platforms and to my mailing list, plus in-store customers at my gallery in Putney and my base of international collectors (including returning customers in America, Germany and Australia among many others).

Artists working in 2D or 3D media - including but not limited to painting, drawing, mixed media, ceramics, sculpture, etching, lino cuts, textiles and limited edition photography - are welcome to submit.

Reproduction prints (e.g. giclée), digital artwork and NFTs will not be accepted.

Please note that your work does not need to be posted unless it is sold; the buyer’s details will be provided to you so you can dispatch work directly to them.

You will need to provide a flat rate shipping cost up front so that you can be reimbursed for this.
