OPEN CALL for ARTISTS - Dark & Spooky Halloween Art Exhibition in Brighton
Deadline: 12/10/2025City: Brighton | Region: East Sussex | Country: United Kingdom | Bobby Dazzler
Calling all spooky, kooky, weird & wonderful artists - this show is for you! We'll be hosting a gloriously haunting art exhibition at the prestigious Fishing Quarter Gallery in Brighton this Halloween.
Housed within the arches of the beautiful Fishing Quarter Gallery on Brighton seafront, steeped in history, a (literal) stones throw from the water, this space enjoys heavy footfall throughout the year as tourists & locals frequent this well known spot as 'the go to' place to explore interesting art.
With its arched bare brick walls and cavernous feel, the venue provides the perfect setting for a spooky show with art that leans towards darker and more haunting subjects or materials.
Coupled with a Private View that will be sure to draw crowds and lean into the festivities of the season, this show is set to be a standout event.
Maybe you're an artist who specialises in work that is a little less commercial - or maybe you're an artist who wants to lean into something a little spookier than you normally would - this is your chance to exhibit in this premier space in Brighton alongside fellow minded artists.
All mediums, styles and subject matter are considered, but please do remember this is a Halloween show.
Skulls and pumpkins are great - but we're also looking for art that will last throughout the year.
The venue comes fully prepared with boards for hanging wall pieces, tables, chairs and other exhibition materials.
