Window Open Call for hARTslane Artist Members – Deadline: 10 September 2026

Window Open Call for hARTslane Artist Members

Join the Membership

At the front of hARTslane is a small square window with an arched top — a public-facing space, on show 24/7 to Harts Lane and its passing foot traffic.

In 2015, artist Clive Burton installed Retina, a reflective sculpture distorting the street opposite. In 2025, we handed the space to our artist members via open call, resulting in Ted Brunning’s Silent Forms — a grid of casted speakers.

This summer, we’re inviting hARTslane Artist Members to propose new work for the window, on show from November 2026–27.

The Space

  • Dimensions: 83cm x 73cm x 5cm
  • Materials budget: £100
  • Context: Harts Lane is residential, with a large brick wall opposite & a cul-de-sac at the street’s end — high foot traffic, low passing distraction

Key Dates

  • Open Call: 29th July – 10th September
  • Decision announced: 17th September
  • Launch night: Saturday 7th November, 5–8pm

How to Apply

Personal Relations Touring Exhibition 2025-2026. Next stop: London, 26 September-7 October 2026

Personal Relations


An international touring miniature-portrait exhibition bringing together art collectives worldwide, 2025-2027

Personal Relations feature a collection of newly created miniature portrait works —each the size of a mobile phone—produced by artist members of international artist collectives.

The project is designed to foster cross-border collaboration & international understanding and explore portraiture as a form of cultural exchange.

In an era of heightened political tension, where national identities and borders are increasingly reinforced, Personal Relations seeks to create meaningful cultural bridges. Through the universal language of art, the project aims to foster unity, collaboration, and artistic excellence across borders.

Historically, miniature portraits were often exchanged as political gift between rulers and ambassadors, symbolising connection and diplomacy.

In this project, over 150 artists are invited to reinterpret this tradition for the 21st century, responding to the history of miniature portraiture while exploring the smartphone screen as today’s “portrait format”—an intimate, portable space for identity and connection.

The Tour

The Personal Relations exhibition will be on tour between December 2025 and November 2026. The 150 miniature portraits will travel across Europe, connecting artists, artist collectives and audiences.

Promotional poster with a bold, DIY aesthetic for a course titled Making a Buck Without Selling Out, presented by hARTslane. The background is a rough-textured, rusty red with torn paper-style beige panels layered on top. At the top, the black text reads: hARTslane Presents:. Below, in large capital letters, the title is displayed: MAKING A BUCK WITHOUT SELLING OUT. The typeface is heavy and hand-cut in appearance, giving the design a raw, grassroots feel. There are no images or dates—this version focuses solely on the title and presenter.

Next course: January 2027

Making a Buck Without Selling Out is hARTslane’s new course on artists’ professional practice, with hARTslane co-director Cristiana Bottigella and guest tutor Sophia Kosmaoglou, founder of ART&CRITIQUE and co-founder of the Radical Pedagogy Research Group.

We created this course because we recognise that there’s a gap in art education—one that rarely prepares artists for the realities of building a practice in today’s culture industry.  

The art world’s economy is full of contradictions. Artists are expected to be visionaries, provocateurs, and entrepreneurs all at once. We’re told to challenge the system—while also expected to succeed within it. Artists must survive and keep making work within a capitalist economy. That means negotiating visibility, marketing, and income—without selling out.

This course confronts that tension. It asks:

  • What does it mean to prioritise artistic integrity over marketability?
  • How do you stay connected and visible without getting drawn into competition and isolation?
  • What does autonomy look like when you also need to pay the rent? 

This programme isn’t a checklist or a formula. It’s a space to ask difficult questions about what keeps your work going, what threatens to undermine it, and how to protect your autonomy while expanding your networks and building community. You’ll also reflect on what success means for you, and what it takes—emotionally, materially, ethically—to keep your practice sustainable over time.

You’ll get 7 online group sessions, weekly activities with tangible outcomes, peer review, written feedback, and collective learning, a workbook to map your progression, resources, tools, and 1-to-1 tutorials to review your action plan.
