OPEN CALL – Scrumping Apples
SCRUMPING APPLES – Online exhibition with SMALL WORKS CIC and guest curator Farnaz Gholami
Deadline: Midnight (BST), 12 July 2026
Scrumping Apples is dedicated to artists who have crossed borders, built homes in unfamiliar places, and continue to make work through uncertainty. It is also a reflection on artistic persistence: holding on to the early impulses that first compelled us to create while remaining open to transformation. Full brief and submission link can be found here: https://www.
This is the first of a new series of online exhibitions, each centred around a theme led by a guest curator. These exhibitions will create new opportunities for artists to share their work, connect with wider audiences, and contribute towards a growing ecosystem of mutual support. Working with the guest curator, we will help review submissions and select the artists, with one artist selected to receive the Artist Spotlight Award. This is an exciting development in which one artist will receive not only a £250 award but also a dedicated feature on the Small Works website and additional promotion across our platforms.
