Chapel Arts Studios are delighted to announce this year’s open call Wish You Were Here.
Applications are now open! This year we are asking you to reflect with a theme of remembrance. Your artwork could be inspired by a memory of a person or a place, a recollection of something past or present, or simply a feeling of nostalgia, but it is entirely up to your personal interpretation - what does memory mean to you?
OPEN OPEN 2025: Wish You Were Here will be on display at The Chapel Gallery from Thursday 3 July until Saturday 26 July. The gallery is free to visit, and will be open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 11am - 4pm.
Artists can submit up to 2 artworks for £15, and £10 for a third entry. There is a concession for CAS Associate Artists: £10 for up to 2 artworks, and £5 for a third entry. (You can submit a maximum of 3 artworks). All artists must be over the age of 16.
The deadline for applications is midnight on Monday 16 June.

Last year, we enjoyed a passionate and contemporary artistic interpretation to the physical and metaphorical associations of Seeing Red and its symbolism in art and life. A colour of historical, spiritual, and political significance.
Here are some photographs of the gallery from last years' OPEN OPEN 2024, Seeing Red:
