Contact The Lido Stores

The Lido Stores is a contemporary gallery located opposite the iconic Lido obelisk in Margate. It comprises of Gallery 1, a large permanent space devoted to showcasing original work by resident artists, along with Gallery 2, an adjoining white cube with an exciting program of solo and guest curated group exhibitions. We are keen for the Lido Stores to maintain a vibrant and varied exhibition program and regularly welcome new artists to the gallery.

Artists

If you are interested in submitting an exhibition proposal for Gallery 2 then please email requesting application details. Please note we are now fully booked for 2025, and submissions for 2026 will open in May 2025.

We are not accepting artists submissions to Gallery 1 at present, but we do run free-to-enter open calls twice a year - please sign up to our newsletter at the bottom of this page for regular updates on exhibiting opportunities.

Due to the demands of running a busy gallery space with a high footfall, we kindly ask that artists do not cold call in-person.
