Opportunities at 1853 Studios

We invite artists to submit proposals for a solo or group exhibition in our Mill 1 Gallery.

Following the success of last year's RIPPED exhibition, we're excited to launch our second open call!

RIPPED Artist Wendy Roby noted,

“There was a really positive attitude of ‘this can be as ambitious as you want it to be, and we want to help you make it happen.’”

We are looking for an exciting body of work that pushes artistic boundaries and hasn’t previously been exhibited.

Application Deadline: 8 Dec (At midnight)

Exhibition Dates: 15 - 30 March 2025

Preview Night: 14 March 2025

We will give particular consideration to those who live, work or were born in Oldham and the surrounding areas, however this is not a compulsory requirement.

We encourage artists of all mediums to apply (including 3D, digital and performance). We welcome applications from artists at any stage of their career.
