Auto Amor Project is an open-call exhibition programme
Buy a 2026 Auto Amor board, make work on it, and submit to multiple open calls across the UK in 2026.
Selected works (blind judged) are exhibited in galleries across the UK, offered for sale, or swapped between exhibiting artists, and included in the Catalogue Collectif.
Postage & Packaging is the same whether you order 1, 2, or 3 — so feel free to stock up. Please read the Open Call Terms & Conditions on the submissions page before purchasing.
This is the official Auto Amor Art Board (24 × 30 × 0.5 cm) — handmade in the studio cut from hardwood ply and sealed with two layers of rolled-on acrylic gesso.
Each board has a bit of personality:
• the edges can be a little rough from the cutting,
• the top surface might fancy a quick sand or an extra coat of your own gesso,
• and you’ll probably spot some honest wood grain here and there.
If you’re looking for a flawless, luxury, factory-perfect panel… this is not that.
This is the board you get because you’re taking part in the Auto Amor Project.
Compared to premium, factory-pressed birch ply panels—manufactured specifically for absolute flatness—this board is made from hardwood ply and prepared by hand at scale. As with most plywood-based art boards, storing it flat on a level surface when not in use helps it acclimatise and remain stable for working.
Stamped with the official logo on the back, this board lets you enter any of the 2026 Open Calls — giving you the chance to be exhibited and to be included in the Catalogue Collectif.
We believe more artists deserve to have their work seen.
Rather than creating fewer opportunities, we’re building a programme that creates more outcomes.
Since launching in 2026, we’ve exhibited over 500 artworks, with new exhibitions, partnerships and venues continually expanding the opportunities available.
