Staffordshire St is looking for proposals from curators, artists, makers and performers to exhibit in our project space as part of Staffordshire St’s 2025 programme.
We want to support artists at all stages of their career. We will select one proposal through the Open Call 2025 submissions process to deliver a 4 week exhibition and two related events in our gallery space during March/April 2025.
We are looking for exhibitions that will engage with our audiences both in the artistic and local community. We highly encourage a cross-disciplinary approach through collaboration with partners to run events alongside the exhibition to deepen engagement. Our regular public programme includes workshops, film nights, panel discussions, supper clubs, scratch nights, music and more.
We want to exhibit a wide variety of projects and we will be looking for submissions that put forward strong discursive concepts and demonstrate quality as well as capability to execute the proposal.
We particularly welcome proposals from people from underrepresented or non-traditional art backgrounds so that we can platform ideas from a range of voices.
Proposals will be reviewed and shortlisted by the Staffordshire St team and two external judges, Rudi Minto de Wijs and Alys Williams.
