No Place Art is an artist-led initiative focused on connecting artists with future champions — collectors, galleries, and institutions. For Edition Two: Materiality, we invite submissions from artists around the world working in printmaking, painting and mixed media, responding to the theme of Materiality.

Selected artists will exhibit at The Handbag Factory, ASC Gallery, London (17-27 September 2025), and will be eligible for a range of over 50 awards and opportunities, including;

– Artist residencies
– Solo & group exhibitions
– Artist mentoring
– Interviews & editorials
– Materials, memberships & subscriptions
– Workshops & editions
– Purchase awards

Selected artists will also receive a double page spread in our Edition Two | Materiality brochure – a 190+ page book highlighting all of the artists, collaborators and partners. Artists will also be invited to come to our Client Night where you can meet our clients and collectors, enjoying free drinks and a performance.

Unlike traditional open calls, No Place Art is built by artists, for artists, with a mission to create meaningful, ongoing opportunities beyond a single exhibition. Every selected artist receives free promotion and a chance to join our growing artist network.

Deadline to apply: 31st May 2026 – 23:59 (GMT).
