Call for Artists
Applications open on 11 October
Open to artists in any artform, JAM is seeking a diverse range of events, theatre, concerts, exhibitions and installations from artists who are creative, and who thrive in an artistic culture, to be part of JAM on the Marsh 2025. The annual festival runs 4-13 July, in venues across Romney Marsh and on our virtual gallery.
Submitted events and exhibitions form an integral part of the festival, alongside world-class concerts, theatre, poetry, community workshops and opera. The 2024 festival included five submitted exhibitions across eight venues on Romney Marsh, from mediaeval churches to railway carriages of the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway and vibrant, public spaces.
It also included a play, Jarman, based on Derek Jarman’s life which was submitted. In its 11th season, the festival drew an audience of 21,000 through live and virtual events and exhibitions, reaching audience locally, nationally and across the globe. Publicity reached 6 million people, through TV, radio, press, digital coverage and extensive social media.
