Open Call for Submissions: INERTIA
23–26 January 2026

Wellspring Therapy & Training invites creatives of all ages and experience levels to submit work for INERTIA, a curated exhibition exploring the rich and complex tensions between stillness and movement, resistance and momentum, pause and possibility.
This exhibition offers a space for artists to reflect on the moments where we find ourselves held, halted, or propelled forward emotionally, physically, or creatively. We welcome thoughtful, expressive, and experimental interpretations of the theme.
This will be the very first exhibition of its kind at Wellspring Therapy & Training in Harrogate, and a new step in showcasing the creative voices within our community. While Wellspring is well known for its therapeutic work, INERTIA marks an exciting expansion into public arts events, offering a platform for reflection, expression and connection through creativity. We are thrilled to open our doors in this new way and invite the community to be part of a meaningful and inspiring milestone.
