Home - CCA Galleries International

CCA Galleries International invites visual artists to apply to take part in the Jersey Summer Exhibition 2026. The exhibition is based on the model at the Royal Academy Summer Show each year. Exhibits are selected by a panel of professional artists and shown in a group exhibition. All artwork is for sale.

Now in its 10th year, the Jersey Summer Exhibition continues to be the highlight of the cultural calendar in Jersey and drives the standard of artwork being made. Having work exhibited at CCA Galleries International has helped launch the careers of promising Jersey artists, as well as enforcing that of those already established.

The exhibition is open to emerging and established artists alike and the gallery encourages applications from artists in every stage in their career. All visual art forms are welcome, including paintings, printmaking, drawings, design, sculpture, film and photography. CCA Galleries International accept applications from artists with links to the island who may be working elsewhere as well as Channel Island artists.

The Jersey Summer Exhibition offers several prizes each year. Every artwork accepted into the exhibition is automatically considered for a prize and presentations take place in July at the Summer Prize awards night. Scroll down to see more.

Judges Panel 2026

Each year CCA Galleries International invites a guest panel of professional artists to join the judging panel for the Jersey Summer Exhibition. These are artists of international acclaim who use their years of experience and knowledge to carefully deliberate the artworks selected for exhibition.

CCA Galleries International is delighted to announce that the directors of Storm Studios and Sara Berman will join the judging panel for the Jersey Summer Exhibition 2026.

For 2026, we are proud to welcome the painter, Sara Berman and StormStudios’ Dan Abbott, Peter Curzon and Rupert Truman.

Sara Berman

Sara Berman, born in the UK in 1975, obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in fashion Design from Central Saint Martins in 1999. Subsequently, she founded and managed her eponymous
fashion brand for 15 years.

In 2016, Sara Berman completed her Master of Fine Arts in Painting at Slade School of Fine Art. Berman has exhibited her work in London, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Milan, Miami, New York, Palm Beach, Rotterdam; most recently in group presentations at Hauser & Wirth, London, the Port Visser Collection in the Netherlands and The Maison Estelle in London, Sara Berman currently lives and works in London.

Dan Abbott

Dan Abbott, a designer, illustrator and self-described ‘manic ideas-machine’, has been collaborating with StormStudios since 2001. From initial sketches to directing ambitious photoshoots, Abbott has played a central role in many of the studio’s most striking works. His work reflects a lifelong fascination with the powerful relationship between sound and image.

Peter Curzon

Graphic designer and art director Peter Curzon joined Storm in 1991 and has since played a key role in creating and overseeing artwork for artists including Pink Floyd, Muse and The Cranberries. He served as Graphic Designer and Art Director for Their Mortal Remains: The Pink Floyd Exhibition at the V&A, and designed the 50th anniversary logo for The Dark Side of the Moon. His work continues to shape how music is experienced visually, reinforcing the powerful connection between sound and image.

Rupert Truman

Photographer and director Rupert Truman worked alongside Storm for 25 years, capturing the studio’s iconic imagery for bands including Pink Floyd, Muse and Audioslave. His photography helped define the unmistakable visual identity of StormStudios, and he continues to lead the studio today across music, film and exhibitions.
