WHAT
Jo felt we needed an opportunity for as many Sussex-linked artists and makers to show together in a collective response to the theme MEANDER: Land + Water
We are asking for works, that meet the theme, in any medium to join us for this exciting new format.
You purchase your space for a single artwork and automatically get hung in the exhibition.
We want to hang as many Sussex-linked artists and makers as possible in one beautifully curated exhibition.
-
HOW
One entry per person = automatic hang-in exhibition. We have limited entries to one per artist to allow the maximum number of artists and makers to be involved.
Jo will work her curatorial magic and create the exhibition using everyone’s collective response to the theme MEANDER: Land + Water
We have thought long and hard about how to make this a fair process and have decided to price the entries based on the size of the work. Entries start from £10.
