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.

Traction Projects is a new artist-led space just off Exeter’s main high street. Situated on a busy thoroughfare in and out of the city, the large street-facing windows provide a flexible space to present work in all formats, and creates a publicly accessible gallery that is visible and ‘open’ 24/7 in the city centre.
We are excited to present a range of artworks to our large and wide reaching audience, the constant hustle and bustle of the street providing an ever-shifting crowd. This is the first large group exhibition in the space, and we are keen to reflect a range of styles, themes and media.
What makes artists unique are the different ways we interpret and respond to the world. Traction Project Space is limited in scale, but limitless in the ways artists work with us. Restrictions can spark new inspiration and find new ways of working. All artists will be working to the same scale, on our Auto Amor 24 x 30cm gessoed boards, and we are looking for distinctive responses to the challenge. Show us your individuality and what drives your practice!
