Who's 'Ave 'Em? - visual art open call ☺
Deadline: Monday 4th May, 9am
Taking place 7th - 21st June 2026 (not part of GI)
Huge thanks to Stereo for supporting us through their Community Open Call!
We’re looking for visual art in any medium which features collaboration or response to kids' art in any way. This could look like a recreation of a kid’s work, a joint collage or drawing, making work according to a kid’s direction (or vice versa) - but we’re open to all interpretations of the theme!
We are interested in how you - the adult artist - bring yourself or your practice into the work.

Why?
We want to explore the ways in which adults make work because of, despite, around, next to, in conjunction with, in relation to, in reTALiation to kid’s work. We’re interested in how artists who have - or who look after OR work with kids’ in a direct way - make space for themselves and their own art alongside their caring work and responsibilities.
Who can submit?
We are primarily looking for submissions from parents, carers and kin to children, regardless of the child’s age. You do not need to be a legal guardian to count - you may be an uncle or aunt, a close family friend, a house m*ther etc. We’re also open to submissions from people who work regularly or in a direct way with children i.e. community artists, youth workers, teachers etc.
