Red Art Prize
Open Call Prize 2027
We are thrilled to announce the Red Art Prize 2027, a new addition to Red Gallery’s annual program. This open call exhibition launches the year by celebrating the richness, diversity, and vibrancy of our art community. In keeping with Red Gallery’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, the Red Art Prize has no selection process; if you enter, you’re in. From emerging to established, experimental or traditional, all artists are welcome.
The Red Art Prize will be held annually, marking the beginning of each year with an exhibition that invites creative freedom, connection, and visibility for all who participate. Invites artists to submit up to three artworks, each within the maximum dimensions of 60 × 60 × 10 cm. Different mediums are welcomed: painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, sculpture, mixed media, collage, textiles, and digital work.
