The regular open call opportunity is open to all current Wasps tenants working in a variety of mediums. There is no requirement for the work to be a new project. We invite proposals for both new and existing projects. Priority is given to tenants who have not yet been a part of our programme and those who demonstrate connection between work and space in their application. Wasps is on a journey to net zero. We therefore welcome proposals which align with our ambitions and values of sustainability and we particularly encourage applications from artists who create work with related themes, or those who prioritise sustainable practice within the making of their work. 15 exhibition slots of varying lengths are available across 4 of our gallery spaces – The Briggait (Glasgow), South Block (Glasgow), Perth Creative Exchange and Inverness Creative Academy.

For the cross estate open call, three exhibitions will take place in 2025; one in Glasgow/South Block, one in Perth Creative Exchange and one in The Assembly Hall of Inverness Creative Academy. Artists should apply individually and those selected will be matched up into exhibiting groups by a panel of Wasps staff based on various subjects including work themes, materials, and what the artists wish to gain or build on professionally. This open call has been created for those looking to collaborate and meet link-minded artists from other buildings across Scotland.

The deadline for both open calls is Fri 1 November, 12pm.
