Calling All Artists!

At Calle Rey, we’re all about community. Each month, we hand over our cosy art nook to a local artist to showcase their work on our walls.

Whether you’re emerging or established, we love giving creatives a platform to be seen, celebrated, and supported.

You’ll get a month-long exhibition and a launch party to kick it all off with style.
