Artist Open Call 2026

We’re thrilled to open our sixth Artist Open Call. We welcome submissions from artists globally, regardless of training or background. Our panel of judges will then make a selection of a group of winning artists.

As a selected artist, we will work with you to create The Open Call Collection, featuring a selection of yours and the other winners' artworks for sale, launch on our website on Wednesday 7th October 2026.

We will provide ongoing curatorial, marketing and PR support in the lead up to and launch of your collection on our platform. As a member of the PE family of artists, we will build you a dedicated profile page on the website and the opportunity to participate in our busy schedule of drops, exhibitions and events throughout the year.

I’m drawn to work that feels deeply personal and emotionally resonant, pieces that tell a story, evoke a feeling, or reveal a distinct point of view. As someone who believes that the spaces we inhabit should reflect how we want to live and feel, I’m particularly interested in artists whose work has a strong sense of atmosphere, identity and intention, rather than simply following trends.

I want to see a confidence in experimentation and a compelling and distinctive point of view. I’m particularly interested in work that demonstrates curiosity, sensitivity to material or process and a clear sense of intention, whether emerging or more developed. Work which opens up new ways of seeing or feeling.

Seren Metcalfe

I’m drawn to originality and personality, but more than anything I’m searching for something that feels true. I want to feel the presence of the artist within the work, to sense a real communication or emotional honesty, where there’s a distinct sensibility, atmosphere, or way of seeing the world that feels entirely their own.

This year I am particularly interested in discovering artists creating artworks that extend beyond the wall - whether that be sculpture, ceramics or homeware.
