About Us:
Phantasmal Gallery is a hybrid art gallery dedicated to the celebration of horror, oddities, and all things macabre.
We were founded in 2023 by Daisy-Drew Smith after graduating from Bath Spa University.
Smith realised quite quickly that there were not nearly enough publications or gallery spaces that celebrate horror and the uncanny. Therefore, deciding to create their own space for artists to share their macabre and haunting work. Our mission is to create a space to share art and experiences that challenge the boundaries of the normal and introduce the world to the beauty of the strange.
Being a hybrid gallery means that we put on exhibitions online and in physical gallery spaces.
We try to run an open call and exhibition every month! Look out for announcements on our Instagram.
The Questions We Ask:
You may have noticed the question section of our open calls or artist profiles. We love to ask our artists what interests them. As a fan of TV and Movies, I find they constantly influence my practice. I find it incredibly interesting to see what artists watch and love; whether they know it or not, it seems to always influence their practice.
And if you didn't notice, we do LOVE horror here, so of course we are going to ask the important question...Do you like scary movies?
We always had our little Q&A's at the end of your artist page so viewers can get a special insight into what inspires you.
Our mission is to create a space to share art and experiences that challenge the boundaries of the normal and introduce the world to the beauty of the strange. We strive to create a space that fosters creative expression and celebrates unique voices in the world of horror and surreal-inspired art.
If you are a fan of these themes, take a look at our gallery and see what we have to offer.
Publicity:
Accepted artists will also have their work featured across our Instagram and TikTok, reaching a growing audience of art lovers, curators, and creatives.
We’ve just passed 5,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 500 on our new Tiktok — and we're expanding fast.
This is a chance to boost your online presence, gain exposure in a curated, themed show, and become part of a supportive digital community of visionary artists.
We post our magazines to readers all around the world, who are horror lovers just like us. We have readers in the UK, Europe, USA & Canada. We do a preorder for the public and will continue to sell copies online and at art fairs across the year.
