Fronteer Gallery are looking for postcard sized artworks for their exhibition Postcards 2026.

Fronteer are holding a postcard exhibition. The exhibition has no set theme, so artists are welcome to produce any work on any subject they like as long as it is postcard-sized. 

We would also welcome 3-D postcard-sized works which can stand on a plinth.

Work should be on paper or card and should be A6/postcard-sized (10.5x14.8cm). Work must be unframed and will be hung using Command Strips.

Artists are invited to submit up to 3 pieces of work for the exhibition. Please complete a separate form for each submission.

You may provide a short description of no more than 150 words, but this will not be displayed alongside the work.  

UK-based artists from all backgrounds are invited to submit. It is free to apply with only successful artists paying a fee of £12 fee for each piece of work selected.

The exhibition will run from 3rd to 12th February 2026.

There will be a Private View event on 31st January, 4-6 pm.
