City Lit Open Call

We are delighted to invite submissions for a Second Lives special exhibition taking place at City Lit Gallery, Covent Garden in November 2026.

We are seeking artists whose practice has developed alongside - and been enriched by - alternative careers. The exhibition will bring together a selection of established artists alongside emerging talent from the City Lit creative community. 

Submissions close at midnight on Thursday 15th October 2026.
