Open Call: Wayfarers Contemporary Art Fair

Applications are now open to exhibit and sell at the Wayfarers Contemporary Art Fair that will be located in Southport’s historic Wayfarers Arcade 16-18 July 2026 in the UK. The fair will take place when Southport hosts the Royal Birkdale Open Golf championship, that will bring a quarter of a million international visitors to the town. We are seeking applications from artists, makers, artist collectives and galleries whose work demonstrates quality and originality. This includes fine art, craft, design-led products, homeware, textiles, and thoughtfully produced food and drink. Exhibitors will be selected by a panel and fees apply. Selection will ensure a balanced, high-quality art fair that reflects the breadth of contemporary making.
