Inspired by the Martin Luther King Jr quote,
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that”
the open submission show looks to remember the power of light in times of political unrest across the world.
Westall states
“It was a sheer pleasure to be involved in the curation of this show. We wanted artists to show us work that drives away the dark and hate – we want to celebrate light and love. Lights of Soho is one of the most interesting venues in London and it is admirable that the gallery is, once again, supporting emerging artists and giving talented young people the chance to demonstrate their creativity and exhibit their work.”

Lights of Soho curator Hamish Jenkinson states,
“The quality of submissions this year was fantastic, and perhaps even exceeded the standard of submissions we received last year. It is incredibly heartening to see so many submissions, and such a wide variety of styles. The sheer number of submissions shows us that there is a real need for emerging artists to have a platform to display their work, and we at Lights of Soho consistently aspire to provide that.”
Alongside having their art displayed in Lights of Soho, artists will also receive complimentary memberships to Lights of Soho.
