Contemporary 6th Edition - Call For Artists
Have you ever questioned whether your art is truly good enough?
It’s no secret that most artists experience an ongoing inner dialogue, comparing their work to their idols, grappling with self-doubt, and wondering: Is my work good enough? Is it contemporary? These uncertainties often lead to confusion and anxiety, yet they are a natural part of the creative journey. Even the legends we admire today once faced the same questions.
This exhibition aims to spark a meaningful dialogue between artists, artworks, and the audience, demonstrating that any form of art, in any style, has the potential to be powerful and successful, even something as simple as a single line on paper. By showcasing diverse artistic expressions, we hope to break down the barriers of self-doubt and celebrate the limitless possibilities of creativity.
Join us as we explore the true essence of artistic value and challenge the notion of what makes art “good enough.”
Gallery Space
Our gallery is located in one of the most iconic and visited areas in the world- the Tower Bridge district of London. Situated on Tooley Street, the historic link between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, we are just two minutes from both landmarks, four minutes from The Shard, and six minutes from the Tower of London, home to the Royal Crown Jewels.
With over 5 million people passing through Tooley Street each month, our gallery has become a celebrated destination. Housed in a building owned by a distinguished lord who frequently visits our exhibitions, our space combines historic prestige, modern vibrancy, and unparalleled access to London’s cultural heart.
Also- “Our gallery is proud to be one of the 4,000 blue-chip galleries listed on Artsy.”
