🍦Open Call: The Great British Summer Holiday Exhibition
📆 Deadline: Sunday 21st June 11.59pm
🎨 St George's Arts Centre, Gravesend
After the fun of our mini pop-up exhibition on Gravesend Town Pier in August 2025, we’re very excited to be bringing The Great British Summer Holiday Exhibition back for two weeks this July to the St George’s Arts Centre, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Please note, the exhibition will run from Tuesday 30th June – Sunday 19th July 2026.
The theme of the exhibition is the history of the Great British Summer Holiday, from day trips in the Victorian era, the introduction of the summer holiday camp, to the resurgence of the popularity of the staycation in the early 2020s.
We are inviting you to submit up to three pieces work.
Submissions can be in 2D or 3D media including but not restricted to painting, drawing, print, photography, collage, upcycling, recycled materials and sculpture, and must reflect the theme of the Great British Holiday. For example, think: the Kentish seaside, postcards, beach balls, ice creams, deck chairs, vintage travel posters, end of pier entertainment, beach huts etc.
Please note, this exhibition is open to anyone to submit work.
