A call to artists
By: James Glen
Added: 18 May 2023
The Gallery is inviting artists to submit their work for a pop-up show in our lovely gallery/café space.
The show will be called "THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY" and will run from 5th July until 13th August.
This will be a great chance to get your work seen in a wonderful space, with a chance to sell your artwork.
We will accept paintings, photography, graphic art, printmaking, collage and wall mounted 3D pieces.
We cannot accept ceramics, glasswork or sculptures, as this show will be in a café environment -- wall-mounted art only, please.
To start the submission process, please send decent quality jpegs (2-8mb is ideal,) of up to 6 individual pieces to jon.arnold@paradiso.org.uk by 18th June.
Please label each piece with the title, medium, approximate size when framed and a price which must include our gallery commission, which is 35%. We really want all the artwork to be for sale, please.
The selection panel will then view your work and inform you on their decision.
If selected, all pieces must be behind glass, as we have a café in The Gallery space currently - although not permanently! Frames must also be ready to hang, with "D" rings or circular metal rings attached -- one third of the way down is ideal.
If the artwork, when delivered, does not meet this criteria, we will not be able to include it in the show, sorry!
We would need all accepted artwork to be delivered by June 30th at the latest.
