Young Masters open call
for artists opens soon
As we enter the 17th year of Young Masters, this forthcoming edition marks our first museum collaboration, culminating in an exhibition at Wimbledon Museum entitled Her Court: The Role Wimbledon Played in the Suffragette Movement. The open call invites artists to respond to a curatorial theme shaped by women’s suffrage, local history and cultural memory.
Artists are invited to apply via CuratorSpace by submitting an example of previous work alongside a proposal responding to the curatorial theme.
Full details, including application dates, will be announced shortly. Please keep an eye on our website and social channels for the official launch.

Young Masters is a curatorial platform that celebrates and supports emerging artists from across the world who are inspired by the art of the past.
Young Masters was founded by gallerist Cynthia Valianti Corbett in 2009 as a not-for-profit juried Art Prize, inspired by her love of Art History and the Old Masters.
The success of the Prize has grown over six incredible editions and has spotted the talents of over 400 artists who are part of our alumni network.
Now, in 2025, our revitalised mission is to support emerging artists from across the world, bringing their work to a wider audience through a curated programme of pop-up exhibitions and fairs as well as maintaining a vibrant online presence that showcases our wide network of talented artists.
This global visibility and support can be career-making and life-changing, with opportunities for sales, exhibitions, gallery representation, press, and much more.
