🌊 There’s still time to be part of Beside the Sea 2026.

Putting together this exhibition is one of my favourite parts of the year. Every application brings a new perspective, and it’s always exciting to see how differently artists and makers interpret the coast, the sea and life within it.

Whether your inspiration comes from dramatic seascapes, marine life, harbours, beach finds, coastal plants or memories of time spent by the sea, we’d love to see your work.

Applications close Tuesday 7 July.

Thinking of applying to Beside the Sea 2026?

These are just some of the artists and artworks featured in last year’s exhibition. Every piece shown in this reel found a new home during the exhibition.

Beside the Sea celebrates creative responses to the coast, the sea and life within it. Whether your inspiration comes from coastal landscapes, marine life, harbours, seaside memories, wildlife, beach finds or life beneath the waves, we’d love to see your interpretation.

Applications are open until 7 July - see profile for more info.
