OPEN CALL: THE CHANNEL ISLANDS CONTEMPORARY ART SHOW 2026

This open call is to invite artists of any discipline to submit proposals for the exhibition or presentation of new works inspired from the diverse voices, social realities, ecosystems and global connections of the present day Channel Islands.

The selected work will feature as part of a touring exhibition project produced by Art for Guernsey and ArtHouse Jersey in association with Passerelle Centre d’Art Contemporain (Brest) in 2026.

This is the second edition of The Channel Islands Contemporary Art Show which first launched in 2023. The curation of the exhibition is based on a spirit of dialogue, experiment and artistic rigour supported by the exhibition’s curatorial team across Guernsey, Jersey and Brittany, France. The exhibition aims to offer new perspectives on how the Channel Islands relate both to their own past, their present realities and to a wider global future.
