When will I hear back?
If we have selected your artwork, we’ll get in touch by email. If we can’t reach you there, we may try to catch you on Instagram.
If you apply to Artist of The Month or 1B Window Gallery, these are ongoing opportunities. You’ll only hear from us if you’ve been successfully chosen for that month. We keep entries incase we want to consider you for any of the months following.
If you apply to our other exhibitions or collaborative projects, we’ll tell you either way if you’ve been selected or not. It could take up to 3 weeks after the given deadline to be notified.
How do you select your artists?
As for the types of art, we’re always open! We love to find artists doing new and interesting things with their medium of choice. We look for artists who have a unique approach to the medium or subject, and try to make sure all artists have a fair chance and haven’t been selected too many times before, if at all.We check for inappropriate/offensive material or descriptions.
Sometimes our call outs aimed at a specific demographic, whether that be respective of location, age, ethnicity or gender. For example the Female Gaze exhibition was calling female identifying artists, our BOLD exhibition was a call for Black artists, our LIFTED art competitions are for under 25’s and our exhibitions at the Genesis are for London based artists.
When we partner with venues for exhibitions or arts markets, we’ll get their opinion on what art works best in their space.
For the website / Artist of The Month, we accept art in any medium, except film and performing art. Although sometimes we consider film and performance art for certain occasions or events.
If you’re not sure if your artwork will be appropriate, you can see our exhibitions section or go to @darkyellowdot on Instagram to see who we’ve selected in the past.

– Try refreshing the page, and then re-enter your info
Do I have to pay to submit my art?
Sometimes. We pride ourselves on creating both free and affordable submission fees, because we’re artists too and know what it’s like to spend on expensive application fees.
Submission fees are in place not only to maintain and update the website, but allows for the time it takes to go through each application carefully reading your descriptions, reviewing your work, and sharing artwork online so that we can continue creating opportunities for artists like you.
When you fill in the application form, you’ll be redirected to a payment page powered by PayPal.
How will you use my art?
We use your art for the intended purposes of featuring or promoting you.
We only use artwork by selected artists, who have already given us permission. This may be on our website, on printed marketing materials for exhibitions, in our emails or on social media (including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Tumblr)
We always give credit to the artists and/or the source of the artwork.
We do not replicate or reproduce your original artwork, and we do not attain copyrights on your artwork.
