Call for Submissions

Applications are now open for the inaugural Junior Bermuda Biennial. Artists aged 5 to 17 are invited to submit up to 3 artworks. Applications, which are free, must be submitted online by September 29.

The Junior Bermuda Biennial is a new addition to the Bermuda Biennial – the Bermuda National Gallery’s flagship exhibition, which has been running for over three decades. 

The Junior Bermuda Biennial provides our youngest artists with a national platform and encourages them to push the boundaries of their creativity. It is an open submission internationally juried exhibition which showcases the next generation of artists.  

The 2024 Junior Bermuda Biennial will be juried by Molly Bretton, Head of Learning at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) in London, who will select the artworks to be included in the exhibition.  

As Head of Learning at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) in London, Molly leads a department delivering creative learning programmes and resources with and for students, young people, teachers, families and community groups.

She was instrumental in establishing the RA’s Young Artists Summer Show, an open submission exhibition for UK students. Now in its sixth year, it serves to champion the importance of art in education, celebrate teachers fostering creativity in children, and showcase the breadth and quality of work being produced by young people across the country.

Applications must be submitted online by September 29, 2024. 

The exhibition will be on display at the Bermuda National Gallery from November 2024, through April 2025.
