We are currently accepting exhibition applications for 2025

No Vacancy Gallery is open to applications from established and emerging artists, curators and designers who wish to exhibit in 2025. We’re seeking applications from visual artists, designers, academics, performers & new media artists for solo & group exhibitions working across all media. We support independent launches, forums and accept proposals for large-scale projects & programs as well as charitable events.

For our 2025 programming we’re looking to work with artists displaying an ongoing commitment to the development and growth of their practice. We hope to program a broad range of exhibitions with applicants displaying high quality, innovative, experimental and intellectually rigorous bodies of work.

Through 16 years of proud independence we pride ourselves on our flexibility and accessibility, providing a central and welcoming environment that functions both as a platform for artists and a meeting place for like minded individuals. As a gallery, our goal is to provide a supporting experience for artists by ensuring your ideas come first.
