Any artist from any background can submit any of their work. There is no charge to submit your application, please feel free to share your work with us.

Scratch

You bring the weird and wonderful, we'll bring the people. Scratch is a chance for creatives to test their performance based work for an audience. 

Our last Thursday Scratch Nights at Mirage Bar offer a monthly dedicated space for live artists and performers to test out new and developing ideas. They are a chance for creatives to show their stuff in front of a live and supportive audience, with a social afterwards to network and receive feedback!

This series of events will be informal, for creatives to test ideas in real time, experiment, take risks and share new work with peers and the public. 

REJECTS

Due to popular demand, Art Friend are pleased to announce that ‘Rejects’ is returning to London for summer 2024. The premise is to showcase and celebrate some incredible artworks that have been overlooked by the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and to give the artists their chance to shine! 

We are looking for artists who have previously submitted work to the RA Summer Exhibition and didn't get selected but who still have their work available. 

Overstory - Open call for digital artists

We are thrilled to announce our latest open call "Overstory" inspired by the profound exploration of trees and nature in Richard Powers' acclaimed novel "The Overstory".

Dates: 16-18 May 2024 PV on 16 May from 6PM to 8PM

Opening days: 17 May from 4PM to 8PM - 18 May from 4PM to 8PM

Why "Overstory": the exhibition theme serves as a celebration of nature's beauty and resilience, inviting artists to delve into the intricate world of trees and their profound impact on human life. Richard Powers' masterful storytelling in "The Overstory" inspires us to reflect on the interconnectedness of all living beings and the vital role trees play in sustaining our planet.
