THE GREATEST SHOW IN THE WORLD, EVER, EVER

Catalyst Arts’ annual Member’s Show is now open for submissions!

“It must be the dream of every artist to be given unlimited funds to produce new work, to have access to anywhere on earth (or beyond) to show it, to never have to worry about those irritating little details that stop you from producing that masterpiece” Members Show, 1996

This open call asks members to respond to a theme from our archive dating back to 1996. The show will take the form of a submission for a proposed project which the artist has always dreamed of fulfilling but may not ever have the resources to see through in reality. Basically, we wish to see the wildest dreams and deepest desires of all our members. Whoever you are or whatever you do there must be something that you always wanted to do. 

The exhibition will run from 6th - 27th August 2026.

The curation, install, and de-install of the show will be handled by Catalyst Arts and our team of co-directors.

Please note this is an unpaid opportunity.
