About the organization
Fronteer Art is an artist-led initiative based in Sheffield, United Kingdom, dedicated to creating accessible exhibition opportunities for emerging and mid-career artists. Founded on the principle that contemporary art should be a democratic and participatory field, Fronteer Art organizes open-call exhibitions that often take unconventional formats—such as postcard shows—to lower barriers to entry and encourage broad engagement. The organization’s ethos is rooted in experimentation, inclusivity, and the belief that art thrives when it circulates beyond traditional gallery confines.

Taking part
Artists should approach Fronteer Art with a spirit of experimentation and a willingness to engage with thematic prompts. Open calls are typically announced via social media and mailing lists, with clear guidelines on dimensions, media, and deadlines. Given the postcard format, works are often small-scale and may be priced affordably. Ensure your submission adheres strictly to size and material specifications, as these are central to the exhibition’s concept. A concise artist statement and high-quality documentation of your work are recommended, even for small pieces. Fronteer Art values clarity and professionalism in applications, but remains open to unconventional approaches that align with the call’s theme.
