We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our fifth Artist Open Call. At Partnership Editions, we’re committed to making the art world more inclusive by supporting emerging artists through mentorship, exposure, and long-term collaboration. Over the years, our Open Calls have become a cornerstone of this mission helping to launch the careers of some of our most celebrated artists, whose works now appear in renowned private collections around the world.

This year, we welcome submissions from artists globally, regardless of training or background. A panel of esteemed judges will select a group of standout artists whose work will be showcased and available to purchase as part of our Open Call Collection, launching on our platform in October 2025.

MEET THE SELECTION COMMITTEE

Alongside our founder, Georgia Spray, our selection committee is made up of artists, journalists and designers in the arts and interiors space. They will use their expertise and excellent eye to help us unearth and shine a light on new talent.

Busola Evans, Interiors Journalist

Busola Evans is a freelance interiors journalist with over 20 years' experience in the field. She writes and has written for a number of leading titles including Architectural Digest, The Telegraph, Sunday Times Style, The Guardian The Financial Times and House & Garden. Prior to this, she was the executive editor at The World of Interiors and The Interiors Index. Busola is on the advisory board of Women In Journalism and is also on the steering committee of United In Design, a charity formed to tackle the lack of diversity in the UK’s interiors industry.

She says: "Art plays a vital role in interiors by adding personality, depth and emotional connection to a space. A great piece of work can often say so much more about the owner than any piece of furniture. So I am looking for artists that offer originality and strong storytelling but also pull me in with an intriguing use of colour and clever composition.”

Jess Wheeler, Artist & Designer

Jess Wheeler is an English artist and designer living in West Dorset. Working from a converted cow barn near the sea, her eponymous design studio, founded in 2021, is known for creating botanical lighting and decorative objects for the home. Forged from an ever-evolving array of materials, including brass, bronze, and plaster, her work is elegant, poetic, and rooted in the raw beauty of nature.

She says: "I will be looking for work which inspires and takes me somewhere else. I look for pieces that have an element of surprise in subject or medium. I always have my eye on contemporary pieces which could add interesting layers to an old house."

Russell Loughlan, Interior Designer & Colour Expert

Russell Loughlan, is the interior designer and colour-expert behind the Instagram account @thehouseondolphinst Russell’s approach to colour is a refreshing one and he has made a name for himself thanks to his flair for unexpected combinations.

He says: “I practice a ‘start with the art’ philosophy when it comes to building room schemes for clients. Art can tell a story, adding layers of meaning and personality to a space. It plays a crucial role in interior design, adding colour, texture, depth, and can create focal points that inspire the rest of the design scheme, though I am open to the idea that anything beautiful can be art. It needs to be something you go back to time and time again. So, I’m excited and open-minded and want to see works that take me on a journey, an experience. Also, I’m looking forward to hearing the stories behind the artist’s work and their practice.”

Georgia Spray, Founder of Partnership Editions

Georgia studied History of Art at Bristol University, going on to work at leading art institutions including White Cube Gallery, Christie's and for art dealer Ivor Braka before launching Partnership Editions in 2017. Tired of the elitism of the art world, she launched Partnership Editions: a curated platform to connect would-be collectors with emerging artists.

She says: "As ever I am looking for works that make me want to look at them again and again, and something that I would want to live within my own home. It’s not about training or background, for me it’s an emotional response to the work, works that make you feel something that’s not easy to verbalise."
