Organised by Fringe Arts Bath, this open call welcomes all Visual Artists, at any stage of their career, from across the globe.

Now in its 13th year, the Bath Open Art Prize accepts submissions across all genres and mediums; including video, painting, photography, textile, digital, print and 3D. Small installations and performance will also be considered.

2025 judges Patrizia Ribul and Dr. Lucy Gundry will select works for a group show, as well as 1st and 2nd prizes. They will not only be considering the quality of the works, but also FaB's more open and less formal approach to visual arts.

Prizes include:
- Selected works exhibited from 16 Oct to 1 Nov 2025 at 44AD artspace in Bath, UK
- 1st Prize: £750 cash sponsored by The Arts Society Wessex Area
- 2nd Prize: £250 cash sponsored by The Bell Inn
- People's Choice: £50 art vouchers, sponsored by Minerva Arts Supplies
- Solo Exhibition Opportunity provided by 44AD artspace

Submission fees:
- £22 GBP for 1 artwork ($30)
- £33 GBP for up to 3 artworks ($45)

Fringe Arts Bath (FaB) is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers. Your entry fees not only cover production of the Bath Open Art Prize exhibition, they also help fund FaB's annual visual arts festival and keep it free and accessible for visitors to enjoy.
