Elliott Gallery Call for Exhibition Proposals

International Deadline: November 30, 2026 – Over the past two years, this Open Call has grown into one of the most rewarding initiatives at Elliott Gallery, connecting us with extraordinary photographers across continents, fostering new dialogues, and bringing powerful visual stories to our gallery walls in Amsterdam.

As we enter our third year, our core commitment remains as firm as ever: to serve as a platform for visual storytellers and fine art photographers at every stage of their career. We are not bound by subject matter, technique, or geographic borders. Whether you are an emerging voice, a self-taught practitioner, or an established artist, we are looking for singular perspectives, clarity of vision, and a deep engagement with the photographic medium.

The exhibition will take place in March/April 2027 at Elliott Gallery in Amsterdam, with a duration of 6 weeks.

ELIGIBILITY
We accept submissions from Photographers worldwide – amateurs, professional, recent graduates – above the age of 18. Entries must be original photographs, captured by the participant. No specific theme or subject restriction. All concepts and styles are welcome.
