Eagle Open 2026

EAGLE GALLERY OPEN EXHIBITION 2026
Information for Artists
The long-established Eagle Gallery is highly regarded as a source of original artwork created by members of the Eagle Gallery Artists Cooperative. In 2026 we are introducing the Eagle Gallery Open Exhibition to allow other artists from in and around Bedfordshire to showcase their work and recognise the vibrant local creative community. 

The Eagle Gallery Open Exhibition will run from 10.30am on Saturday 20 June until 4pm on Saturday 27 June with a Private View on Friday 19 June from 6-9pm. The gallery will be open every day as usual.
 
Entry is open to artists living or working in Bedfordshire and the surrounding counties. Submission to the Eagle Gallery Open Exhibition is via the online form only.  Each submission will be acknowledged by the gallery with confirmation of the fees due. The fees must be paid promptly to hold your place.

The exhibition fee will cover curation, hanging, promotion and stewarding of the exhibition, handling of any sales, and a Preview Evening for exhibiting artists and their guests.
