Exciting New Gallery Space at The Stables for Local Visual Artists
The Stables is inviting Milton Keynes-based visual artists to submit creative works for display and sale in its newly launched foyer gallery. The venue will host a series of exhibitions throughout the year, providing an exciting new opportunity for local artists to display their work. The new gallery space replaces the old record shop area in The Stables’ main foyer. Work took place during the summer to prepare the gallery – and now all that is needed is some great art to fill its walls! For further information on the plans and the application process, visit https://stables.org/artist-submission-call-out. The deadline for applications for the 2025 exhibition period is Friday 29 November.
