“Artists who were born, live, work or study in Yorkshire (currently or in the past) are warmly invited to submit for The Mercer Open. The submission fee is £15 and covers up to three pieces of work for the selection panel to consider. All submissions must be made online via CuratorSpace and the deadline is midnight on Sunday 31 July 2022. If the fee is a barrier that will stop you submitting please contact the curator via CuratorSpace.

The exhibition will be held at The Mercer Art Gallery in Harrogate, 17 Sept 2022 - 8 Jan 2023 and the opening hours are Tues – Sun, 10am-4pm.

As a selling show all works must be for sale with a price point between £100 and £10,000. The Mercer will take 50% commission on all sales so please account for that when pricing your work.

We will be selling off the wall. This means that not everything will be exhibited at the same time. Works will be replenished as artworks sell, this means buyers are able to take their purchase home straight away and it gives visitors incentive to make repeat visits. If you have multiple pieces selected for the exhibition they may not all be displayed at the same time.”
