The selection process is currently OPEN
General Submission Information
IMPORTANT: In order to ensure a dynamic and evolving exhibition, any artist selected for the 2023 edition of the London Art Biennale cannot be selected for the 2025 edition. Specifically, artists cannot be selected for consecutive London Art Biennales. Artists selected for the 2023 London Art Biennale should not apply for this edition.
All other artists can apply for the 7th edition of the London Art Biennale, taking place from the 16th to the 20th of July 2025, at the bottom of this page. This website is the only way to submit to to the London Art Biennale.
Artists can apply from any stage of their career (emerging or established) and from any nation.
Artists can apply with one or more artworks but each artwork will be judged individually.
There are no geographical nor thematic limitations to artwork submissions and there is no minimum age.
Submitted artworks can have been previously exhibited or published
Submitted artworks can have been created at any year of an artist’s career
Approximately 300 artists will be selected purely on the basis of the artwork submitted.
Accepted artistic disciplines are not restricted and include (but not restricted to) works on canvas/ board/ paper/ other supports, mediums such as oil/ acrylic/ collage/ watercolours/ mixed medias, photography, digital art (including AI assisted art), video art, sculpture, fibre art and installation.
There is no specific size limit but if a prospective artwork submission is more than 250cm on any side, please contact us and request specific guidance prior to submitting.
If a single artwork has numerous elements that are integral parts of the same artwork, such as a diptych or triptych, then it is considered as one artwork submission.
Artworks that are in a series are regarded as separate submissions.
Collaborative works are eligible. When the work is submitted please write all artist names under the artist name field (e.g. artist name & artist name &…) and use your collaborative group name under the pseudonym field if you have one.
Selected artists are invited to attend the Biennale inauguration with guests but there is no actual requirement for artists to be personally present during the Biennale.
The Submission Deadline: 28th of February 2025
Selected artists will be announced on social media and on our website by the end of March 2025.
Selected artists will be contacted individually via email with transportation information and details related to the exhibition.
Artists that are not selected will not be individually contacted.
Recommended image qualities: The selection process is on screen and we receive the exact file you send. Therefore, if you are happy with how your artwork can be viewed/evaluated on your screen, that is exactly how we will see it on ours. All common formats accepted.
