Submit Your Work for Consideration

House of Nocturne is an independent creative space exploring contemporary, alternative and thought-provoking art. We’re interested in work that challenges convention, explores identity, plays with the human form or finds beauty in the unusual.

We welcome submissions from artists working across photography, painting, drawing, illustration, digital art, mixed media or sculpture. Whether your work is sensual, surreal, intimate, unconventional or difficult to categorise, we want to discover it.

What We’re Looking For

We’re drawn to work with a strong visual identity, a clear point of view and a sense of individuality. We value originality over trends and artistic expression over fitting a particular mould.

We’re particularly interested in work exploring the body, identity, emotion, texture, light, shadow and the beautifully unexpected. However, we don’t want to limit what art can be. If your work feels right for House of Nocturne, we encourage you to submit.

We welcome emerging and established artists alike.
