Call For Submissions 2025
Espace Claire-Léger
Submission Deadline: June 25, 2025, at midnight
Exhibition Dates: July 31 to August 31 – October 16 to November 16
Artist members of Arts Sutton, would you like to exhibit in the Claire-Léger space. This privilege is reserved for artists who are members in good standing of the gallery, across all artistic disciplines. We are looking for high-quality proposals that reflect the richness of contemporary and current art.
To give this space a more distinct personality, better suited to coexist with the exhibitions presented in Arts Sutton's main hall, the number of exhibitors will be limited to two or three members, depending on the selected applications. Additionally, we will systematically include artists' statements and biographies on the website and in the gallery. We believe that the works exhibited in the Claire-Léger space will thus be able to better dialogue with each other, and that artists will be better served by this format.
