The submitted pieces, up to 150cm square in size, can be paintings, drawings, etchings, fabric, embroidery, or collages. Sculptures and installations are also eligible, subject to space available.

A limited number of works for inclusion in the exhibition will be chosen by a panel, including Edinburgh artists David Grossart and Carol Marples, some of whose work will also be exhibited.

Submission will open on 1st March 2026 and close on May 1st 2026. The list of works selected for exhibition will be decided by June 1st.

Submission is free. Initial submissions should take the form of jpeg images sent as attachments to exhibition@edinburghsacredartsfestival.org . Up to three works may be submitted, with up to three images of each work. The images should include information on title, medium and size.

All submissions will be assessed anonymously and accordingly images should not include any indication of the identity of the artist. All personal details -- name, address, phone number, email, website, etc. -- must be confined to the accompanying email, which should also include the title.

Successful submissions may be offered for sale, subject to a commission of 15%. Once the final choice has been made, exhibitors will be sent detailed instructions about mounting and dismantling the exhibition.
