Call for Makers, Artists and Artisans: Maker Takeovers 2026 Artizan Collective is seeking applications from artists and makers to take on Maker Takeover spaces in The Stalls as part of Delamore Arts 2026. “After a successful first year in 2025 we’re looking forward to revisiting what we anticipate will be a popular feature of Delamore Arts 2026, both for artists and audiences. The Maker Takeovers are a great opportunity to sell direct to Delamore’s regular annual collectors, who value the chance to meet artists and makers face to face to hear about their practice.” Julie Brandon, Director Artizan Collective This is a selective call to which we are inviting applications. Round 2 Process Gaps that have not been booked as blocks are now available to book flexibly. Where blocks remain, this can still be booked with a 5% discount, or you can alternatively book a single day or your own multiday variation. *NEW* Large/Group Pod The new large/group pod is situated within the Stable Courtyard and is approximately twice the size of the existing "Large Pod". It includes hanging system for 2D display and we are able to provide some tables and surface display furniture. Power and a sink are available making the space ideal not only for display but also delivering demonstrations and carrying out live practice to engage audiences, and on good weather days you can make use of the courtyard area immediately outside the pod. Given the size of the space, we recommend groups consider it, and also booking for a minimum of two days to justify setup times. The space is secure so all items can be left overnight.

- CALL: Artizan Women’s Open Exhibition 2026
Artizan Women’s Open Image from the preview of the Artizan Women's Open 2024 The narrative for women in the arts over the past twelve months arguably has seen some stark dualities. 2025 was a year of historic breakthroughs. An auction milestone was reached in May 2024 as Leonora Carrington’s Les Distractions de Dagobert fetched $28.5 million at Sotheby’s - a record for a British-born woman artist and a market validation of female Surrealism – and this momentum was also seen in private spheres, with the Art Basel & UBS Survey of Global Collecting 2025 reporting that work by women reached a seven-year high of 44% within the portfolios of high-net-worth collectors. However, while the market celebrated historical figures, contemporary institutional progress remains slow. The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) continues to highlight this, reminding us that globally, only 13.7% of artists represented by major galleries are women - a figure that has barely moved despite a year of high-profile "inclusion" initiatives. This plateau is risks being reenforced by technology. New research shows a significant bias in generative AI, finding that for neutral prompts such as "a portrait of a great artist," models defaulted to male-coded imagery over 80% of the time. This digital erasure was met in early 2025 by the viral "Invisible Woman" campaign, highlighting how the male gaze is being baked into the future of creative technology, restricting women to passive roles as "muses" rather than creators. Data from the Burns Halperin Report audits continue to inform todays conversation, revealing that progress has entered a period of fatigue. In major museums, works by women still account for just 11% of acquisitions, and programming for women appeared to be slipping back into the safer territory of group shows, rather than the career-defining solo exhibitions required for true parity. Perhaps most telling was the 2025 "Artists Speak" report from SMU DataArts. The report identified a persistent maternal wall and a significant disparity in unpaid labour, revealing that women artists are still disproportionately burdened by administrative and domestic tasks that fragment creative time. We see a world where women are increasingly "visible" in the news, yet still economically, digitally, and spatially squeezed in the studio and the gallery. The Return of the Women’s Open The Artizan Women’s Open returns for 2026 to keep this narrative open. Three years of incredible support has shown us that our artists and audiences want to have this conversation as much as we do. For 2026, we are evolving. Whilst maintaining our traditional, high-standard Open Call for those who wish to lead with the work alone, we’re also introducing new, thematic entries for those who wish to explicitly address some of the key barriers faced within the industry. We hope this will provide space for everyone to contribute to the conversation and also allow us to expand the exhibitions potential to bring awareness of critical narratives for women artists. Your contribution is vital to this record. Submission Models for 2026 You may submit works within any of the following four categories (mixing between categories is allowed). These categories allow you to contextualise your work on your own terms; they do not change the fundamental standard of the exhibition but rather expand how we talk about the work on the walls. You can submit under multiple categories up to a maximum of 6 works. Advice to Applicants The nature of this diversified call means there are a lot of moving parts. We advise reading through the various options and consider submitting to a maximum of two themes. Once you know what categories you want to submit under, check the submission notes and sizes carefully, and make sure you have all the information for your submission to hand (work titles, dimensions, images etc. as well as any special fields). And if in doubt, talk to us. 01. THE OPEN CALL (Standard Entry) This remains our traditional entry model. It is designed for artists who wish to engage with the exhibition as they always have: by submitting their best work to be judged on its own merits, free from a thematic lens, celebrating the autonomy and excellence of women artists. Notes: This is a commercial category, works are submitted for sale. This category is for completed works in any media. You can submit up to the submission limit of 6 works under this category. Sizes: 2D Single has a maximum dimension of 75cm in any direction (i.e. 1 of your 6 entries) 2D Double has a maximum dimension of 100cm in any direction (i.e. 2 of your 6 entries) 3D Single has a maximum dimension of 75cm in any direction 3D Double has a maximum dimension of 120cm in any direction 02. BARRIERS (The Social Invoice) The BARRIERS category looks to share an audit of the creative “cost”, inviting artists to submit finished works alongside testimony of the work that went into creating them. Most gallery visitors only see the finished piece. They don’t see the "hidden" side of being an artist: the late nights, the unpaid admin, or the struggle to balance work with family life. In 2025, research showed that the arts sector often relies on "passion exploitation," where artists are expected to work for free just to keep their careers going. To reveal this "invisible labour" we’re asking you to submit its "Social Invoice," which will be presented as a physical thermal receipt to visualize the hidden paper trail of creation. This invoice functions as the exhibition label for the work, not just displaying the title medium and price, but also itemising the "ghost hours" and systemic costs - such as passion exploitation, unpaid administrative time, or caregiving duties - that are traditionally erased by the gallery’s white walls. The specific format of the invoice remains entirely up to the artist; they may choose to list precise financial costs, total hours sacrificed, or simply a descriptive ledger of the domestic and professional barriers they navigated. Each individual work submission will consist of: A ready to display artwork The social invoice for that work Notes: This is a commercial category, works can be submitted for sale or not for sale. This category is for completed works in any media. We recommend submitting a maximum of 2 works under this theme. You may submit additional works under another theme. Your “social invoice” is a text only submission but other than this is not prescriptive and can include any information you want to attach to the labour involved in creating your work. You may wish to give items a time cost (e.g. The "Late Fee": Waiting 3 months for a previous client to pay me so I could buy materials - 90 Days of Stress) a monetary cost (e.g. The “Boomerang Fee”: Courier charges to return unsold work from another exhibition - £50.00) or something else entirely. Sizes: 2D Single has a maximum dimension of 75cm in any direction (i.e. 1 of your 6 entries) 2D Double has a maximum dimension of 100cm in any direction (i.e. 2 of your 6 entries) 3D Single has a maximum dimension of 75cm in any direction 3D Double has a maximum dimension of 120cm in any direction 03. THE 13% THRESHOLD (Spatial Presence) For those whose work demands significant physical or conceptual space, this category responds to the fact that major gallery representation of women has held stubbornly at a low 13.7%. We invite works that intentionally challenge this limit through their refusal to be squeezed, either in their scale or the power of their concepts. We’ll be dedicating 13% of the gallery space to the display of works in this category. Each individual work submission will consist of: A ready to display artwork A brief description of the works physical or metaphorical scale Display instructions Notes: This is a commercial category, works can be submitted for sale or not for sale. This category is for completed works in any media. A maximum of 1 work can be submitted in this category. You may submit additional works under another theme. Please provide detailed display instructions and consider emailing supporting images. Due to the deliberate choice to limit the gallery space available for these works only a small number of works will be selected in this theme. Sizes There are no size limits on this submission but you should consider the scale of the venue when submitting your work. 04. UNFINISHED (The Archive of Stolen Time) This category acknowledges that for many women, creative output is often a series of fragments of “stolen time” reclaimed from lifes other pressures. In 2025, research showed that 72% of arts workers suffered from high stress and burnout, and many have reached a crisis point where they considered leaving the arts entirely. We want to move away from the idea that only "finished" work has value. This category is a monument to the work that remains unmade because life got in the way. We are creating an archive of the "unfinished" to show exactly what the arts sector loses when its people aren't supported. Each individual work submission will consist of: An unfinished artwork A timestamp for when the work was paused (this can be estimated but is ideally a full date) Details of how the work is to be displayed Notes: Works can be displayed as “not for sale” or “sold as seen” or as “pre-order” “Sold as Seen” works are displayed for sale in the raw incomplete state “Pre-order” works are displayed as concepts for final pieces. Sales details provided should be for the final work, effectively taking payment in advance for the completed piece. Work displayed on this basis demonstrate commitment to produce the final work within a reasonable timeframe if commissioned. This category is for incomplete works in any media. We recommend submitting a maximum of 2 works under this theme. You may submit additional works under another theme. You should provide detail of how your incomplete work is to be displayed and may be required to provide any special fixtures to facilitate this. Sizes 2D Single has a maximum dimension of 75cm in any direction (i.e. 1 of your 6 entries) 2D Double has a maximum dimension of 100cm in any direction (i.e. 2 of your 6 entries) 3D Single has a maximum dimension of 75cm in any direction 3D Double has a maximum dimension of 120cm in any direction THE BACKLOG PROJECT (Male Solidarity) We invite male-identifying artists to support this year’s exhibition through the backlog project. The Contribution: Male artists pay a submission fee and deliver a work. The Reality: The work remains completely packaged and unopened on the gallery floor for the duration of the show removing its commercial potential. The Impact: Proceeds from these fees will fund a Curation Fee for a woman artist, commissioned to arrange these "unseen" packages in the space as an installation. Notes: This is a non-commercial submission. This is a symbolic contribution that enables participation, the male artist will receive no remuneration or recognition for their part in the show. The installation as a whole will be recognised as the work of the commissioned woman artist. Value For Every Artist Whilst we can’t remove submission fees from our model at this time, we believe in ensuring value for artists who support us through their applications to work with us. To ensure our process builds visibility for all, every applicant - regardless of the final curation - will receive: The AWO Commonplace Book (Optional Opt-In): Historically excluded from formal higher education and professional institutions, women utilised commonplace books as vital intellectual "workspaces" to construct authoritative identities and engage with culture from the domestic realm. These compilations allowed women to transcend traditional gender roles by merging household management with scientific observation, literary composition, and political critique, bridging the gap between private life and the public sphere. As a nod to these texts, we’re creating “The AWO Commonplace Book”. You may optionally complete a professional profile and mini-interview to be included in this document, a digital resource to be shared with all applicants to help you discover and connect with your peers. IWD Spotlights: Profiles from The Commonplace Book will be used for our International Women’s Day (IWD) campaign, featuring artist spotlights on our public channels throughout the exhibition. Submissions received before IWD will be used as part of our social campaign for this event. IWD Networking Event: All artists who submit before International Women’s Day will receive an invitation to our IWD event. The 2025 Industry Briefing: A curated report gathering some of the critical 2025 moments. This report will exclusively be available to applicants to AWO 2026. Make A Submission Submissions are now solely being taken through our internal platform or via our exhibition access support. You can make a submission at www.art-hub.co.uk/submissions If you are not able to use this system for any reason, please email submissions@artizangallery.co.uk and we'll endeavour to support an alternative application method. Please remember we are a small team, and therefore access support requests should be made well in advance of the opportunity deadline to best enable us to assist. Fees Standard Entry - £35.00 Discretionary Entry - We welcome you to self-assess that you qualify for a reduced entry fee if it helps you to participate in the exhibition - £20.00 Commission on sales 35% Key Dates and Links International Women's Day Event: TBC within 6th - 8th March Call Deadline: 5th March Confirmations: 6th March Delivery of Works: 6th March - 15th March Exhibition Setup: 16th - 20th March Exhibition Launch: 21st March Exhibition Dates: 22nd March - 26th April Exhibition Page: www.art-hub.co.uk/ex/awo25 Submission Page: www.art-hub.co.uk/submissions Application Support: submissions@artizangallery.co.uk Terms and Conditions: http://www.art-hub.co.uk/exhibitorsterms #Call #awo26 #pinned #ArtizanWomensOpen #ArtizanTorquay #ArtizanCollective
- Torre Abbey Acquires Contemporary Work by James Murch Through New Artist Residency Programme
Torre Abbey has announced the acquisition of a major new work by Torbay-based artist James Murch, created during his time as part of the Geopark Artist Residency Programme. The purchase continues Torre Abbey’s history of collecting contemporary art to add to the existing nationally important collection. The acquisition is one of the landmark outcomes of the Torbay Local Heritage Grant Scheme (LHGS), which supported more than 25 small groups, individuals, and organisations to develop innovative projects exploring Torbay’s heritage. Delivered in partnership by Torre Abbey, Artizan Collective CIC, and the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark, the residency scheme enabled participating artists to create ambitious new works in response to Torbay’s significant UNESCO designation, that they would not otherwise have been able to realise, embedding fresh creative narratives into the region’s cultural legacy. A Residency with Impact The Geopark Artist Residency Programme offered four artists the opportunity to explore and reinterpret Torbay’s unique natural and cultural landscapes. At Torre Abbey, James Murch produced his Roots and Relics series, an exploration of the tension between heritage conservation and the natural processes of growth, erosion, and reclamation. Speaking on the acquisition, James said: “It’s an incredible honour to have my work become part of a museum collection. As an artist, you hope your work will resonate with people, but knowing it will be preserved, shared, and given a life beyond the studio makes it truly special. To have that happen here carries an even deeper significance. Torre Abbey has been a place of learning and inspiration throughout my residency, and to see this period of creativity culminate in a lasting contribution to its collection is profoundly meaningful.” Following his 2020 residency at Cockington Court, James established his permanent studio there, where the surrounding grounds continue to inform his open-air practice. Manifestation, the sister piece to the work acquired by Torre Abbey, is on display in his studio together with studies and supporting works from the residency. Torre Abbey Statement “We are delighted to welcome James Murch’s Roots and Relics series into the Torre Abbey collection. This acquisition represents a meaningful step in our commitment to supporting contemporary artists and embedding local creative voices into our nationally significant holdings. James’s work offers a powerful reflection on the interplay between heritage and nature, themes that resonate deeply with our site and its history. We are proud to have played a role in enabling this work through the Geopark Artist Residency Programme and look forward to sharing it with our audiences for years to come.” Significance for Torre Abbey The acquisition was made possible by Torbay Council through the Art Object Fund linked to Torre Abbey. This is the first acquisition from the Geopark Artist Residency Programme and marks a pivotal moment in the Abbey’s collecting history. It introduces a contemporary, locally rooted perspective into a collection traditionally known for its historic and Pre-Raphaelite works, expanding the narrative scope of the museum. The acquisition underscores Torre Abbey’s evolving role as both a guardian of heritage and a platform for contemporary cultural expression in Torbay. It reflects the Abbey’s dedication to fostering creative engagement with place and heritage and support of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark. Partner Reflections The acquisition is also being celebrated as an exemplar of partnership working. By combining enabling grants with innovative residency approaches, the programme demonstrated how limited resources can be leveraged to create long-term cultural value. Jacob Brandon, Director of Artizan Collective CIC, commented: “This purchase is not just the addition of a single artwork; it is the embodiment of what can happen when artists are enabled to openly explore their practice in response to place. Through the residency scheme, James and the other artists were able to develop work that speaks directly to Torbay’s layered histories and living heritage. To see that work now preserved within Torre Abbey’s collection is a legacy we are proud to share in.” Nick Powe, Chair of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark said: “Torbay’s UNESCO Geopark designation is founded on the outstanding geological heritage of the English Riviera. Fundamental to the designation is celebrating how the natural environment is connected to the community, to the people who live and visit the area. This residency is a great example of doing exactly this and we are delighted to be working with James Murch and Torre Abbey on this project.” A Wider Programme of Success The Geopark Artist Residencies formed part of a wider suite of Local Heritage Grant Scheme projects, which together created powerful new narratives around Torbay’s heritage. From experimental exhibitions to community-led initiatives, the scheme has broadened how local history is told, ensuring that Torbay’s diverse stories reach audiences locally and beyond. The acquisition of James Murch’s work cements the residency programme’s legacy, not only in the memory of its exhibitions but within the walls of Torre Abbey itself. James Murch and works Foretelling and Manifestation in the grounds of Torre Abbey/ More Information The Geopark Artist Residency Programme The Geopark Artist Residency Programme was a collaborative initiative of Torre Abbey, Artizan Collective CIC, and the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark. It supported four artists to produce new bodies of work interpreting Torbay’s internationally significant heritage, combining studio space, enabling grants, and curated showcases at Torre Abbey and Artizan Collective Gallery. The programme piloted lean, partnership-based commissioning, delivered 150+ days of artist access, public events, and licensed digital collections for long-term Geopark storytelling. Torre Abbey Founded in 1196, Torre Abbey is Torbay’s most historic building complex and one of the best-preserved medieval monasteries in Devon and Cornwall. An accredited museum and Scheduled Ancient Monument, it holds a regionally and nationally important art collection (including Pre-Raphaelite work), significant botanical collections, and a Hartley Clear Span palm house. Recent restoration has focused on safeguarding the site while enhancing public engagement. Artizan Collective CIC Artizan Collective CIC is a Torquay-based social enterprise supporting sustainable creative careers and high-quality cultural experiences for local communities. Operating two galleries and a studio hub, Artizan curates year-round exhibitions, residencies, mentoring and public programmes, and partners across the region to widen access to the arts and nurture talent. The English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark The English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark is an internationally recognised landscape telling over 400 million years of Earth history—from tropical seas to Permian deserts—and celebrating the deep connections between geology, biodiversity, people and culture. The designation promotes protection, education and sustainable development while strengthening pride of place. Torbay Local Heritage Grant Scheme (LHGS) The Torbay Local Heritage Grant Scheme, made possible by investment from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, is a Torbay Culture programme to improve access and participation in Torbay’s heritage and to raise awareness of, and celebrate, the area’s UNESCO Global Geopark designation. Running from mid-2023 to late-2025, the scheme offered grants from £500 to £5,000 for activity and up to £7,500 for capital, with three application rounds across 2023–2025. In January 2024, Torbay Council confirmed an additional £12,500 of Council funding alongside the National Lottery support. Programme Funding Credits This Geopark Artist Residency programme was delivered in partnership by Artizan Collective CIC, Torre Abbey, and the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark. Funded by the Torbay Local Heritage Grant Scheme through National Lottery Heritage Fund investment, with additional support from the Cultural Assets Fund (administered by the National Heritage Memorial Fund), the Museum Estate and Development Fund (Arts Council England), Torbay Council, and the Friends of Torre Abbey (FOTA). #JamesMurch #Geopark #EnglishRivieraGeopark #UNESCO #jmac25 #geoparkac25 #geoparkresidencies25 #jm25 #geoparkta25 #geoparkresidencies #geoparkjm24

We can manage this for anadditional fee ; You are responsible for managing the stewarding of your space and you are required to have your space open to Delamore’s audiences for the entirety of your booked period during their opening hours (10:30-4:30 daily); You are responsible for setting and curating your space and whilst some display equipment is available it is your responsibility to ensure you have everything you need; You must hold sufficient public liability insurance and we recommend all your participating artists also have their own exhibitions insurance as their work is displayed at their own liability unless you choose otherwise to indemnify them. Workshops, Demonstrations and Drop-ins Demonstrations of creative practice have proven really popular with Delamore audiences. We trialled workshops for the first time in 2025 with moderate success, but found drop-ins, with a low fee and no requirement to pre-book, were really popular. You are welcome to offer pre-booked workshops, and we will support your marketing efforts by sharing any posts you tag us in, but these are largely delivered at your own discretion and our recommendation based on 2025 is that drop-ins and demos are more suited to this setting. Where you do choose to offer pre-booked workshops, you should note that all participants are required to pay entry to Delamore, and your workshop should therefore include time in its schedule for participants to explore the rest of the events offer. Fees There is a £600.00 fee for the space which entitles you to exclusive use for a 1-week period with 0% commission fees. There is no application fee for this opportunity. Dates Set up day for all bookings is Monday and in some circumstances, we may be able to receive items the Sunday evening prior to your booking. You are welcome to open on the Monday if you are ready but otherwise slots are considered to be Tuesday-Sunday. The four available date blocks (inclusive of setup day) are as follows: 4 th – 10 th May 11 th – 17 th May 18 th – 24 th May 25 th – 31 st May The Space The Old Workshop Gallery is a well-lit, white stone walled, cobble floored space, with large rolling door opening up onto the main arts courtyard. It comes equipped with a Stas Cliprail hanging system and plenty of wires and hooks for the display of hanging work, and a range of tables, plinths, easels and other display equipment, though we recommend bringing your own display resources as well to enable you to properly plan your display. By nature, the cobbled floor us uneven, so a stockpile of packing and blocks will be provided for levelling and stabilising of all surfaces. There is a sink in the space to support workshops, and a covered entrance awning will be in place for added protection in the case of inclement weather. Stewards will have access to restrooms, small kitchen and WiFi. Food is also available from the onsite café. The space is fully securable allowing displays to be left overnight and stay up for the duration of the week. The space is welcoming, bright and spacious, but should not be considered, a “white box” gallery space. Viewings will be available in January/February. Applications Applications can be made to juliebrandon@artizangallery.co.uk by sending the below: Full contact details for lead applicant A link to your organisation’s website Your preferred date block Maximum 1 page summary of your proposed use of the space to include as a minimum: How you will use the space How you will offer the opportunity to your members What activity you will deliver (e.g. exhibition, workshops, demonstrations) Invitations We will solicit applications from known organisations.

The exhibition is selective but open to all, with our values for the showcase being: Diversity and Variety - we take a range of traditional and contemporary practice, selecting works that result in a showcase rich in media, subject and style; Originality and Innovation - this isn't an exhibition that just "plays it safe", we love traditional work, but equally we want to share work with audiences that they may not find anywhere else; Quality and Talent - we select the best to create a showcase for our audience where they can guarantee they'll be taking away collectible, original work that can't be found anywhere else. All proceeds from sales support our work and we will be sharing updates of plans and projects for 2026 during the exhibition.

Overview Delamore Delamore arts is an annual month-long exhibition that has been running successfully for just over 20 years. It attracts artists and visitors from across the UK with all works selected by a panel of judges to ensure and maintain a high standard of work. Whilst its focus initially was on sculptural works that are placed within the grounds and the house, 2D works have become an important part of the offer and adorn the walls in the main house salon style to compliment a supporting collection of interior 3D works. Delamore regularly sees repeat visitors for whom this event is part of their arts calendar and many of those visitors come with the intent to buy. There is a café on site so most visitors will spend several hours and fully explore all that is on offer. Proceeds from the exhibition support a designated charity that is selected each year by Delamore. Artizan For the month of May, we move to Delamore Estate and support this fantastic annual showcase with our own curated offer. Contemporary British Printmakers and The Kiln Room provide two unique exhibition additions, with demonstrations, drop-in activities and the Maker Takeovers, creating a lively and engaging programme.

The Space Part of the old stable courtyard, The Stalls, once a stable, has been sensitively adapted to retain its original charm whilst creating 4 functional pods in the original stalls. The room still features original metal work, panelling and stone floor with large wood burner that will keep participants and audiences toasty during their visits. The stall pods all have electricity supplies and a hanging system for display setup, with additional lighting installed to make this a bright and welcoming space. The original cobble floor is uneven and we’ll be providing supplies of wood packing to assist with levelling installs.

This is a selective call that will appoint a maximum of 25 artists who represent a broad spectrum of the printmaking practice. Overview Delamore Delamore arts is an annual month-long exhibition that has been running successfully for just over 20 years. It attracts artists and visitors from across the UK with all works selected by a panel of judges to ensure and maintain a high standard of work. Whilst its focus initially was on sculptural works that are placed within the grounds and the house, 2D works have become an important part of the offer and adorn the walls in the main house salon style to compliment a supporting collection of interior 3D works. Delamore regularly sees repeat visitors for whom this event is part of their arts calendar and many of those visitors come with the intent to buy. There is a café on site so most visitors will spend several hours and fully explore all that is on offer. Proceeds from the exhibition support a designated charity that is selected each year by Delamore. Artizan For the month of May, we move to Delamore Estate and support this fantastic annual showcase with our own curated offer. Contemporary British Printmakers takes over one of the two stable block galleries, a charming white walled stable conversion set in a small courtyard with other neighbouring arts offers. This will be our third year collaborating with Delamore after successful showcases in 2024 and 2025 which introduced audiences to a full spectrum of the medium including everything from mezzotint to mokulito to monotype. Once again, we’ll also be looking to expand the popular programme of demonstrations and “have a go” sessions that we ran. Offer We are offering the opportunity to participate in a fully curated and marketed printmakers exhibition, hosted by Delamore Arts and produced by Artizan Collective CIC. We will be seeking some assistance with stewarding in 2026 for those artists who are located within a reasonable geographical distance of the venue (50 miles). Exceptions may be made, and if you anticipate you may want to opt-out of stewarding you should indicate this on your expression of interest Summary Exhibition of 4 framed works and 3 browser works at Delamore Sculpture and Arts Trail 2026 Presence in Delamore Collectors Catalogue Profile page on Delamore website Profile page on Artizan website Feature on exhibition hub page Exhibiting and Space Exhibiting Offer Artists are initially asked to submit an expression of interest showcasing their portfolio via their online presence or alternatively via a portfolio document (PDF, video, doc etc.) Successful artists will then be asked to submit up to 6 framed works (maximum 80x80cm inclusive of framing) for selection from which we commit to select at least 2 to hang and 2 to hold in reserve (i.e. provision of 4 framed pieces). Artists will also be able to provide up to 3 browser works for display which should differ from the 4 selected/reserved works (i.e. 7 unique works in total across framed and browser work). If you primarily produce small/miniature work (less than 30x30cm) we may select up to the full 6 works for display/reserve at our discretion. Across these works, artists will also be able to provide as many editions of the print run as they wish to make available for immediate purchase as part of the event, with Artizan also taking orders up to the maximum number of the edition still available. The Space The space that we’ll be using sits within the Delamore grounds and forms part of the stable block. It is an adapted space, with white walls and original beams, well-lit and characterful. Images of last year’s exhibition are below. Stewarding and Demonstrations Artizan will fully curate the exhibition but for 2026 we are seeking artists who live within a reasonable geographical distance from the venue (50-mile radius) to assist with a day’s stewarding. Exceptions may be made, and if you anticipate you may want to opt-out of stewarding you should indicate this on your expression of interest. All artists are encouraged to attend the launch event. In previous years we ran a handful of demonstrations from participating artists which we would like to expand on. Demonstration days would be in addition to the stewarding days. Marketing Online The exhibition will have a dedicated online hub within our own website, and all artists will also have their own individual presence on the Delamore website. Additionally, every artist will have a dedicated profile created within our exhibition hub where they can list an unlimited number of works to be promoted to the Delamore audience that do not physically appear in the exhibition. All submitted works will be listed on our own dedicated exhibition page. Two images per artists will feature in the Delamore catalogue and on the Delamore website along with a brief artist statement, and a link through to our dedicated exhibition page. Print All artists will be included in the high-quality Delamore souvenir guide with an artist statement and image of their work. Separately, Artizan will produce a small print record of the exhibition for visitors to take away directing them to extended works on offer through the exhibition hub. Other Promotion Supporting flyering, and extensive event listings, press inclusions and paid advertising are carried out by Delamore, and its long-running pedigree guarantees returning audiences. Artizan will support these efforts with its own campaign promoting their attendance and inclusion in this year’s event. Audience Delamore attracts an audience in excess of 6,000 annually with a consistent record for high sales both from the sculpture trail and supporting exhibitions. In continuing to evolve the event and promoting the new offers such as this, they show their commitment to growing audiences. With the highly selective nature of the Delamore offer, we feel that this is a unique opportunity to reach their audience of collectors. We have decided to focus on the medium of printmaking to make our presence there distinctive from the other elements, a valuable addition that we hope will appeal to their audience and allow us to build upon in successive years. Process Expressions of interests must be completed and submitted via any of our preferred platforms no later than the EOI deadline below. These will then be judged, and 25 artists will be selected for the exhibition and invited to make their full submissions.

Overview Delamore Delamore arts is an annual month-long exhibition that has been running successfully for just over 20 years. It attracts artists and visitors from across the UK with all works selected by a panel of judges to ensure and maintain a high standard of work. Whilst its focus initially was on sculptural works that are placed within the grounds and the house, 2D works have become an important part of the offer and adorn the walls in the main house salon style to compliment a supporting collection of interior 3D works. Delamore regularly sees repeat visitors for whom this event is part of their arts calendar and many of those visitors come with the intent to buy. There is a café on site so most visitors will spend several hours and fully explore all that is on offer. Proceeds from the exhibition support a designated charity that is selected each year by Delamore. Artizan For the month of May, we move to Delamore Estate and support this fantastic annual showcase with our own curated programme. The Kiln Room will sit alongside the third year of Contemporary British Printmakers, with the two exhibitions displayed in the Stable and Carriage Room galleries. This will be our third year collaborating with Delamore with an expanded offer of demonstrations, exhibitions, workshops and more to look forward to. Offer We are offering the opportunity to participate in a fully, curated and marketed potters and ceramicists exhibition, hosted by Delamore Arts and produced by Artizan Collective CIC. The exhibition will be curated to be distinct from but complimentary to Delamore’s wider sculpture offer, with a focus on: Functional and decorative ceramics Pots and vessels Sculptural works in relevant media A small number of supporting wall display works in relevant media Some larger scale pieces suitable to be displayed outside in the Courtyard Area Due to the diverse nature of this area of practice, it is anticipated that the number of works eligible per submission will be determined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the applicant, after the expression of interest phase. Summary Exhibition of a collection of work, series, or individual pieces (case by case) Presence in Delamore Collectors Catalogue Profile page on Delamore website Profile page on Artizan website Feature on exhibition hub page Exhibiting and Space Exhibiting Offer Artists are initially asked to submit an expression of interest showcasing their portfolio via their online presence or alternatively via a portfolio document (PDF, video, doc etc.) Successful artists will then be asked to propose a collection of works for inclusion based on guidance from the selection panel, from which we will confirm a commitment to display a given number of works and store an agreed volume of replacement works. The Space The space that we’ll be using sits within the Delamore grounds and forms part of the stable block. The stable area has become well known for a number of years as hosting the Southwest Academy Exhibition, with our presence here now firmly established following an expanded offer in this area in 2025. Stewarding and Demonstrations Artists with an address within 50 miles of the venue are asked to undertake a day’s stewarding as part of the offer. Exceptions may be made, and if you anticipate you may want to opt-out of stewarding you should indicate this on your expression of interest. All artists are encouraged to attend the launch event. Last year we ran a handful of demonstrations from participating artists which we would like to expand on. Demonstration days would be in addition to the stewarding days. Marketing Online The exhibition will have a dedicated online hub within our own website, and all artists will also have their own individual presence on the Delamore website. Additionally, every artist will have a dedicated profile created within our exhibition hub where they can list an unlimited number of works to be promoted to the Delamore audience that do not physically appear in the exhibition. All submitted works will be listed on our own dedicated exhibition page. Two images per artists will feature in the Delamore catalogue and on the Delamore website along with a brief artist statement, and a link through to our dedicated exhibition page. Print All artists will be included in the high-quality Delamore souvenir guide with an artist statement and image of their work. Separately, Artizan will produce a small print record of the exhibition for visitors to take away directing them to extended works on offer through the exhibition hub. Other Promotion Supporting flyering, and extensive event listings, press inclusions and paid advertising are carried out by Delamore, and its long-running pedigree guarantees returning audiences. Artizan will support these efforts with its own campaign promoting their attendance and inclusion in this year’s event.
