Rooted in Light

We invite artists to submit work for “Rooted in Light”, a group exhibition exploring the raw and radiant connection between light, land, and wild nature.

This open call focuses on wildlife, landscape, and plein air practices — works created in or inspired by the open outdoors. We welcome artworks that reflect the vibrant spirit of untamed places, the subtle presence of light in nature, and the rhythms of the natural world as observed directly or remembered intimately.

Whether your practice involves painting windswept hills, drawing birds in flight, or sketching under the open sky — we’re looking for art that resonates with the pulse of living nature.

Eligible Media:
Painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, ceramic and photography (especially nature/wildlife-focused)
 

Submission Deadline: 22 June 2025

Exhibition Dates: 4–22 July 2025
Apply via: www.gallerygrounds.com/opencall

Submission Fee: £5 per artwork

Please include:
– maximum 5 images of your work
– A short artist bio
– A brief statement (max 200 words) about how your work connects to the theme
