Big & Wild
The Art Happy Big & Bold Exhibition
5–11 July 2027
Early Access: 3–4 July 2027
Go big. Get bold. Let it loose.
Big & Wild is an exhibition about art with energy, presence and impact.
We’re looking for original artwork inspired by subjects that feel powerful, untamed, dramatic or simply impossible to ignore. It could be a crashing wave, a thundering horse, a stormy landscape, an expressive portrait, an explosion of colour, a wild animal or something completely abstract.
This isn't about any particular subject. It's about attitude.
Your work might be vibrant and expressive, dark and dramatic, full of movement, colour or texture, or simply have a presence that makes people stop and look.
If your art has a bit of wildness about it, we'd love to see it.
