Here's one for the artists.

Opportunities for Artists – 2026
As we prepare for Vintage Week, limited venue availability means a slightly different approach this year, while also opening up some exciting new possibilities.
1. Open Submission – Small Works
This year’s Open Submission is for works of 30 x 30 cm. The earlier call gives artists time to create new pieces. Selected artists will also be considered for a solo exhibition in 2027.
2. Arts Trail 2026 – Outdoor Works
We invite proposals for temporary outdoor works. Artists are asked to propose works that engage with the public in creative and accessible ways. We are particularly interested in lightweight suspended installations and textiles. Two secure outdoor venues are also available for more delicate work.

Both opportunities are on this link https://www.birrvintageweek.com/annual-open-submission-exhibition
