Grubs Up! Open call for artists 🎨🌸🌿

The Inspired by… Gallery at Danby Lodge National Park Centre in the heart of the North York Moors, is seeking submissions for our upcoming Grubs Up! exhibition, running from 15 May - 14 June, 2026.

This is an opportunity for artists to showcase and sell their work while exploring themes like wildflowers, woodland flora, insects, pollination, and more. We welcome artists of all mediums across the UK to apply.

Whether you have existing work or want to create new pieces in response to the Grubs Up! conservation project, we want to hear from you.

To apply:

Submit up to 3 images of your work (existing or similar to new work you would be looking to exhibit) and provide a written explanation (max 500 words) on how your work fits the exhibition theme.

Get involved, showcase your work, and be part of this exciting project to protect biodiversity in the North York Moors National Park!

The deadline for applications is 1 May 2025.

The work can be offered for sale during the exhibition; there will be a commission charge of 35% of the sale price of each piece of art.
