The show will open on 15th April and run until 31st May 2025 - which gives it a 6-week long run to encourage more entries, increase sales and raise valuable funds for ACCORD in aid of palliative care.
The organisers are looking for entries for painting, prints and ceramics. Closing date for entries is 28th February 2025. The hanging fee will be £5, and artists can submit a maximum of 4 works. Submissions will be made online via accord2025.artcall.org
Exhibition highlights will include the return of the popular Mini Masterpieces – where artists can submit work measuring 15cm x 15cm; a new section of the show will be dedicated to a range of Souvenir, Limited-Edition Prints, Posters and Greetings Cards - artists are invited to donate artworks with 100% of purchases benefitting the fundraising campaign.
Also new to next year’s show will be a Featured Artists Programme, where organisers will invite artists with a particular interest or long association to the charity and ask them to submit up to 12 artworks for the show. ACCORD KIDS will show work by young artists aged 8-18, which we hope will attract a younger audience. A full colour catalogue will be available for sale and a range of raffle prizes will be on offer, with donations welcome from local businesses.
The show will be organised and managed by The Art Department in partnership with ACCORD Hospice.

David McFadden, Fundraising and Communications Manager, commented: “We’re delighted to be working with The Art Department on ACCORD’s annual art exhibition. Next year it’s going to be bigger than previous years, and we’ll be adding new features such as ACCORD KIDS, a Featured Artists Programme and there will be the welcome return of Mini Masterpieces. We’ve extended the run of the show to ensure we’re maximising fundraising, given the increased costs for palliative care and the growing need for better financed social services.”
Steven Thomson, Creative Director, The Art Department, Paisley Limited, said: “The Art Department is delighted to be working more closely with ACCORD Hospice in what has become a long running and cherished art exhibition for local artists. There has never been a more critical time to raise funds for palliative care and we’re proud to support ACCORD Hospice in their continuing mission of care.”
Lisa Charlwood Green, Co-Chair, The Art Department, Paisley Limited, said: “We’re delighted to continue our partnership with ACCORD. The charity is so important and their exhibition benefits both ACCORD and The Art Department, as well as giving artists a platform.”
Eòghann MacColl, Co-Chair, The Art Department Paisley, Limited, said: “The Art Department is all about enabling and empowering everyone to participate in the Arts. It will be great to see artists from across Paisley and Renfrewshire showcase their talent in this fantastic exhibition next Spring.”
