Gravesend Town Pier

This August, we are very excited to be holding a special pop-up event on Gravesend Town Pier on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th August based on the theme of the Great British Holiday. Part of this event will be an open-call mini exhibition and we are therefore inviting creatives to submit up to 3 pieces of work for consideration.

The theme of the event is the Great British Holiday and will include an exhibition and activities based around the history of the seaside resort holiday and summer holiday camps from the 1930s-1990s, day trips in the Victorian era, and the resurgence of the popularity of the staycation in the early 2020s.

Submissions can be in 2D or 3D media including but not restricted to painting, drawing, print, photography, collage, upcycling, recycled materials and sculpture, and must reflect the theme of the Great British Holiday. For example: the Kentish seaside, postcards, beach balls, ice creams, deck chairs, vintage travel posters, end of pier entertainment, beach huts etc.

There will be no charge for the pieces of work chosen for the exhibition.

Also, whilst we won’t be able to sell the pieces of work for you on site on this occasion, you will be able to leave contact details for customers to contact you direct to make purchases.  

The deadline date for submissions is Sunday 22nd June 2025 11.59pm.
