ArtEN Annual Exhibition 2026

THE OPPORTUNITY

We invite applications from artists of Hungarian heritage and nationality based in the United Kingdom to participate in a group exhibition opening during London Gallery Weekend 2026.

This exhibition maps the diverse practices of artists who are actively shaping the UK art scene. Selected artists will present their work to international curators, collectors, and the general public in a London venue in Angel, throughout the month of June.

THE BRIEF

We are looking for artworks that demonstrate high conceptual and/or technical quality.

There is no thematic restriction.

We welcome submissions across all media, including:

• Painting and Drawing
• Sculpture and Installation
• Textiles and Mixed Media
• Photography

Note: As this is a physical exhibition, priority is given to works with a tangible presence. Video/Digital works must be submitted with a clear technical proposal for display (e.g., projector, screen, installation method).

EXHIBITION LOGISTICS & OVERVIEW

What we cover - Logistical costs associated with the artwork. All other costs, such as artwork production, artists transport and other associated costs cannot be covered by the organisation. However, if you are selected and can't join the exhibition, get in touch.

Artwork Transport & Location - The organisation will coordinate the logistics of artwork collection within the UK via ground transport. To be eligible, all artworks must be physically located in the United Kingdom at the time of application. Works located internationally cannot be considered for this specific exhibition.

Production Standards - Selected works must be "exhibition-ready" (e.g., framed, mounted on aluminium, or with stable plinths). Artists working with complex installations or video should outline their technical requirements in the application.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES - Do not send WeTransfer links or separate JPEG files.
