Questions artists ask
What is an open call for artists?
An open call is an invitation for any artist to submit work for an exhibition. At The Holy Art you choose a city, send your work through a short form, and our curators review it. The theme is open and all mediums are welcome.
Is it free to apply?
Yes. Applying is free for every open call. You only pay an exhibition fee if your work is selected and you choose to confirm your spot.
How much does it cost to exhibit?
It depends on the city and on how you show. Each city above lists its own prices for works on the wall and works on the screen, VAT included.
Who can apply?
Artists from any country, emerging or established, with or without gallery representation.
What kind of art do you accept?
All mediums: painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, illustration, digital art, video and mixed media.
Do I have to ship my work or be there?
No. You can show a digital version of your work on our gallery screens, so there is no shipping and you do not need to travel.
How long does it take to hear back?
We review submissions as they arrive and reply by email. Spots are limited, so earlier applications have more choice.
