Two ways in

Submit your work, or list yours.

One submission flow for artists, one listings flow for galleries. Both run on the same considered process: clear briefs, clear timelines, clear outcomes.

01 — For artists

Submit your artwork.

One submission page for every campaign we run. Pick the campaign, upload up to five pieces, write a short statement. We review every submission and write back, whether the answer’s yes or not yet.

Free to submit; members get priority review
Up to five works per submission
Decisions in two weeks for live campaigns

02 — For galleries

List your opportunity.

Galleries, residencies, project spaces, arts organisations: post your open call on the listings board. Free, reviewed for fit, no commission. We’re picky about quality, not bureaucratic about access.

Recognition

Awards & recognition.

Recognition earned through the work, not the wallet. Three ways the platform marks the work that stands out.

01 — Voted

Peoples Choice Award.

One award per Public Canvas edition, voted by the platform community. Winners featured in the journal and the next round’s promotion.

02 — Earned

Creative Flair Ranks.

Member progression by participation. Submissions, selections, contributions, and time on the platform unlock signal of seriousness.

03 — Selected

Programme selections.

Public Canvas inclusion is itself a selection record. Members carry that across the rest of their practice and applications.

Become a member

Priority on every opportunity.

Elevate members get priority review on Public Canvas submissions, free entry to selected campaigns, and first access to listings as they go live.
