Art for Youth London exhibits artworks from over 100 artists nationally
Exhibiting at Art for Youth
Register now if you are interested in exhibiting at this year’s exhibition.
Art for Youth is open to all artists, and takes great pleasure in welcoming and supporting new and emerging talent.
All registered artists (including those that have previously registered an interest in exhibiting) will be contacted in June, inviting them to submit digital images of works to be reviewed by the Selection Committee in early July. These do not have to be the actual works, but Art for Youth do reserve the right to reject works that arrive for the exhibition which are very different in size or style to the ones originally proposed.
We welcome works in all media, although applicants should be aware that our ability to select very large pieces will be limited by how many works we can fit in the exhibition space.
The exhibition will take place at the Mall Galleries (London) on 5-8 November 2024.

Suchi Chidambaram
Suchi Chidambaram is a painter, born and raised in India, now living and working in London. Mainly self-taught, her work focuses on narrating her experience of a place and its people through rapid palette knife marks using oil paints. Her interpretations are not painted in situ but from memory, allowing fragments of visual data to mingle with her subjective and emotional response. Suchi held her first solo exhibition at the Nehru Centre in 2006 and has since exhibited internationally.
