Landscape Open 2025: At Salisbury Museum – Call for Entries

About the Open Call

The open call invites artists to submit work within the genre of Landscape, across a range of mediums including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, moving image, textile, print and mixed media. The museum is surrounded by the Wiltshire landscapes and monuments which have inspired generations of artists. Given this importance, it seems appropriate that Salisbury Museum should be the setting for an open competition that will celebrate the evolving relationships artists have towards the landscape. The exhibition encourages the submission of a diverse range of landscapes in a multitude of styles and media, reflecting the multifaceted relationships artists have to place, and the range of talented artists working within the established genre. Approximately 75 artworks will be selected for the group exhibition. The exhibition opens to the public from the 18 October 2025 – 25 January 2026 in the main exhibition gallery.
