Last call for Quay Arts Winter Open exhibition entries

Georgia shares this latest news from Quay Arts. Ed


Quay Arts are seeking artists from across the Isle of Wight and beyond to take part in a group show combining contemporary paper craft, illustration and book art on the theme of ‘winter’ over the 2017 winter season across its gallery spaces.

If you’re an artist working in paper craft, illustration or book art and have new or existing ‘winter’ themed artworks that create a feeling of awe and wonderment, then we want to see it.

Lots of gallery space
The West Gallery boasts 72 linear metres of wall space, has high apex ceilings and flexible lighting, allowing for large 3D works to be installed to dramatic effect.

The Clayden Gallery will be transformed into an area where people can participate and create their own winter themed creations and put on display.

We’re also utilising the Café space for 2D selling works – making an affordable art space for people to buy works over the festive period.

This is the perfect opportunity to be a part of an exciting group show, experiment in the gallery and sell work.

Deadline to apply
The deadline is midnight 29th October 2017. And remember, the clocks go back so you even get an extra hour to submit!
