Summer Exhibition 2027: Open Call
Due to the continued growth and popularity of our annual Summer Exhibition, we are excited to be introducing a new format from 2027 onwards.
Plas Glyn-y-Weddw is delighted to launch the Summer Exhibition 2027, our annual mixed-media showcase celebrating creativity from across Wales and beyond.
The exhibition will continue to offer artists at all stages of their creative journey the opportunity to exhibit and sell work at one of Wales’ leading arts centres. To support this growth and ensure a vibrant and high-quality exhibition, all participating artists will now be selected through an open submission process.
Who Can Apply?
We welcome applications from artists of all backgrounds and levels of experience. Whether you are a professional artist, an emerging practitioner, a student, or someone who creates in your spare time, we encourage you to submit your work for consideration.
Applicants must be 16 years of age or over.
Selection Process
From 2027 onwards, all artists wishing to exhibit must submit their work through the online application process.
All submissions will be reviewed by an independent selection panel. Successful works will form part of a mixed-media "off-the-wall" exhibition, where artworks are available for immediate purchase and collection throughout the exhibition period. As a result, the exhibition will continually evolve as works are sold.
The works submitted through the application process will be the works considered for selection and, if selected, will be the works displayed in the Summer Exhibition 2027. Artists should therefore ensure that submitted images accurately represent the artwork they intend to exhibit.
