Summary

This week Alice is joined by two UK gallery owners to discuss Open Call exhibitions - from the inside! When artists can sometimes feel submissions are a waste of time, two gallerists share why they choose to use this as part of their offer for artists, and the relationships which build from it.

They let us in on some of the behind the scenes set-up, and what it really takes to organise and run an open call, and what an ideal submission looks like.

We also push them on the tricky topic of costs and pricing - is this just a money-making scheme or after listening do you consider this a good investment. Let us know!

With thanks to Luke Tarpey from

view on open calls and we were I was having interesting comments and chats in the

But today we're going to be talking about the gallery view of open calls

1:09.8

This isn't a two-sided kind of warfare situation, but I think it will be so interesting to hear the inside of what goes on putting an open call together and

1:15.3

what the galleries get out of it. So I am delighted to be joined by Luke Tarpy from
