To apply, you will be required to submit the following information via email.
Please send us:
• Exhibition proposal (max. 500 words)
• Artist statement (max. 200 words)
• Your artist CV, including a link to your website/social media channels
• Digital images (no more than 10 images, submitted as JPEGs) to illustrate the type of work you are applying to exhibit. Please ensure that these images are well-lit and in focus. If images are too large to share alongside this email please send via WeTransfer, or similar, including a reference to this application.
Submissions should be emailed to visualarts@birnamarts.com
All submissions are considered carefully, but as we are such a small team, we’re unfortunately unable to offer feedback on individual exhibition proposals. We look forward to hearing from you!
Birnam Arts has recently pivoted to become a platform for contemporary visual artwork that pushes the boundaries of what is possible to be curated in a rural arts venue, and by whom. We are seeking proposals from artists, organisations, curators and collaborators who feel currently under-represented in rural gallery spaces - especially people of colour, people who identify as LGBTQ+ or who describe themselves as coming from, or living in, an area of economic or multiple deprivation.
We are also committed to addressing environmental and climate issues and we particularly welcome applications that explore this subject matter.
In this next programming period between 2025 -2028, our programming choices will be guided and inspired by a set of in-house curatorial themes which respond to our organisational values. These include:
• Community Connections (celebrating community, with potential for content on disability, neurodiversity and mental health.)
• Women’s Voices
• Natural Places (our seasonal connection to the land and the environment)
• LGBTQ+ Voices
• Climate change
Successful submissions will be required to sit within these themes (see related graphic in Gallery images below). In your application please clearly refer to how your work/exhibition proposal will do this.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
A wonderful local facility, always welcoming and friendly. Me and my girls have so many happy memories of ballet classes and shows here - we need to keep the magic going!
