Exhibition Policy

Thinking of Exhibiting at Queen’s Hall? 

We welcome exhibition proposals from artists, collectives, and curators who share our commitment to creativity, community, and dialogue.

When reviewing unsolicited submissions, our Exhibitions Panel looks for projects that connect meaningfully with Queen’s Hall’s mission and with the local audiences we serve. We’re interested in exhibitions that explore ideas or stories relevant to our region, engage our community, and add something distinctive to our programme, whether that’s a fresh artistic voice, a new perspective, or a bold experiment in form or material. 

The Exhibitions Panel meets three times a year to review submissions. In selecting proposals, the panel considers artistic quality, originality, and the potential for professional growth. We’re particularly keen to support artists at pivotal moments in their careers and to encourage diverse and inclusive voices within the visual arts. Practicality also matters; proposals should be achievable within our gallery spaces and resources. Above all, we value exhibitions that inspire connection, curiosity, and conversation, and that invite the public to engage with art in new and meaningful ways. 

Unfortunately, we receive many more submissions than we have space or resources to support. This means that we are only able to move forward with a very small number of submissions each year.  Please also be aware that we usually work about 18 months – 2 years ahead.
