Fresh Air Sculpture 2026

Sunday 14 June – Sunday 5 July 2026

We are inviting applications from artists for our 2026 sculpture exhibition. Click the links in our bio for full details. Fresh Air Sculpture is an outdoor selling exhibition that has been operating for the last 30 years showing renowned national and international artists alongside emerging new talent. We are looking for ‘fresh’ new work with artistic intent in addition to technical proficiency, that is original, handmade or partly handmade, has been recently created and has not been previously exhibited within a 30-mile radius.

All work should be of a suitable scale for a large outdoor garden setting and be robust enough to withstand the vagaries of the British weather. Fresh Air Sculpture is open to all new ideas and will consider site-specific or ephemeral proposals where the artist has raised their own funding. This is a challenging remit but challenges can often push artwork in new and unexpected directions.

Fresh Air Sculpture has a bursary scheme committed to supporting new, emerging and developing artists. You’ll find more information and submission date, on our website.

We welcome submissions from international sculptors but it will be the artist’s responsibility to arrange and cover shipping costs and any customs, taxes and duties due.

The deadline for artists submissions is 1st December 2025.

Bewerbungsschluss: 1. Dezember 2025
