OPEN CALL – SUBMIT UNTIL JUNE 30TH, 2026

SALON WALL – GROUP EXHIBITION

APPLICATION LINK IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE

Plug Gallery invites artists to participate in Salon Wall, a group exhibition that will be held in our front space gallery area within Agnes Arts. The goal of the exhibition is to fill the wall salon-style with as many works as we can fit. The final result will form a collaborative quilt of artworks, more art than wall. This show seeks to continue our mission of providing platform and opportunity in a non-commercial setting – we welcome applications from all artists, especially those who are emerging or underrepresented.

Artists will retain 100% of their proceeds from sales.

Listing art for sale is not required.

Theme: Artworks will be displayed salon-style, but the subject matter does not need to fit within any theme. 

Not a requirement, but ornate and unique frames would look great in this show!

Questions? Email info@plug.gallery – please include “Salon Wall” in your subject line.
