Arbeit Studios invites artists, designers and makers living or working in Westminster, London, to take part in its Public Open Call 2026, a group exhibition at Arbeit Galleries - Lisson Grove, running from December 2026 to January 2027.

Under the theme ‘What connects you to Westminster?’, the open call celebrates the people, places, histories and stories that shape the borough. Local creatives are invited to submit one to three artworks across a wide range of disciplines, including visual art, photography, painting, sculpture, design, craft and installation.

The exhibition follows Arbeit Studios’ recent recognition as Small Business of the Year at the Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster Business Awards. It reflects the studio's commitment to celebrating local talent, supporting independent creatives and strengthening connections within Westminster's creative community.

Selected artists will exhibit their work at Arbeit Galleries as part of Arbeit Studios in Conversation, a programme bringing artists, businesses and the wider community together through exhibitions, events and creative exchange.

The submission deadline is 25 November 2026 at 12pm.
