Summer Open Call -
Main Gallery and Redcouch Gallery
19 June – 12 August 2026
The Summer Open Call Exhibition is a key annual event at The Courthouse Gallery & Studios, providing a platform for emerging and established artists from across Ireland and beyond. This exhibition champions a diverse range of artistic practices, offering a unique opportunity for artists to present their work in a professionally curated group show.
Each year, the exhibition is selected by an independent guest judge, ensuring a fresh and dynamic curatorial approach. For 2026, CHG&S continues the tradition of inviting one of our exhibiting artists to act as juror, reinforcing the gallery’s commitment to artist-led curation and peer engagement. This approach fosters meaningful connections between exhibiting artists and the wider arts community, while ensuring a high standard of selection.
With an open and accessible application process, the Summer Open Call aims to showcase a broad spectrum of artistic voices, embracing multiple mediums, disciplines, and perspectives. By providing this highly visible and prestigious exhibition opportunity, CHG&S remains committed to supporting artistic growth and expanding professional opportunities for participating artists.
