This year’s will be the sixth Brixton Blog & Bugle Summer Art Show. Held in July in the Tate Library on Windrush Square, it has become an established part of Brixton’s cultural calendar.
Open to local artists – both professional and self-taught – it is a unique celebration of Brixton’s creative talents. Each year has seen a steady increase in the number of participating artists and the number of visitors.
Last year 61 artists – whose work included painting, sculpture, photography, collage, digital printing and more – were able to show (and sell) their work to around 1,500 members of the local community who visited the show and participated in the peoples’ ballot to select the winner who receives a unique award.
Entry is free, and the show is open to any artist – professional or self-taught – who is at least 16 years old and is based in or around (a short bus ride away from) Brixton.
You can submit up to TWO works.
Each work must be no larger than 80 centimetres square and be capable of being hung safely from the gallery wall.
The judges can also accept freestanding sculpture provided it is no higher than 60 centimetres with a base no larger than 25 centimetres square.
To enter all you have to do is send up to three digital photos of each work to arts@brixtonblog.com
Please entitle the email “Summer Art Show’ and include your name, address, contact number, social media, the title and a brief description of the work including dimensions.
The closing date for entries is Monday 12 May 2025.
