Welcome to our exhibition application page.

Throughout the year, we create a range of exhibition opportunities for artists across the world, with a clear purpose: to champion artists and support them on their creative journey.

We host three major online exhibitions annually, each centred around powerful themes that spark conversation and connection. We invite you to explore our 2026 exhibitions and apply to the one that resonates most with your work and voice.

Since 2018, we have proudly supported artists globally, showcasing their work to a growing audience of collectors and promoting each exhibition widely across our platforms. Our exhibitions not only celebrate creativity but also bring attention to important societal issues.

You may submit up to three artworks per exhibition. If selected, a participation fee of £30 applies, regardless of the number of works chosen. This small contribution helps us continue building a platform that means so much to artists and audiences around the world.

We look forward to discovering your work.

Upcoming Exhibition

Celebrating Our Strength in our Diversity

A Call to Artists At a time when division and intolerance are becoming more visible around the world, art has the power to bring people together. It can challenge prejudice, inspire empathy, and remind us that our differences are not something to fear, but something to celebrate. Imagine a world where everyone was the same. It would be a world without the richness of different cultures, perspectives, and experiences. Diversity is what makes humanity extraordinary. At Chinwe Russell, we believe every artist has a story worth sharing. We are committed to creating opportunities for artists from all backgrounds, especially those whose voices are often overlooked, to exhibit work that sparks conversation, builds understanding, and creates positive change. If you believe your art can inspire, challenge, or connect people, we invite you to join our Celebrating Our Strength in Our Diversity online exhibition and become part of a global community of artists using creativity to promote love, unity, understanding, respect, and hope. Together, we can celebrate the richness of our differences and show that our diversity is our greatest strength. If you are selected for the exhibition there is a participation fee of £30.00 payable irrespective of the number of works selected.
