BLACK Swan Arts is inviting artists to take part in their annual Open competition.
Entries will be exhibited for eight weeks in July and August. Curator at Black Swan Arts, Amanda Sheridan, says, “As ever we are really looking forward to working with you and seeing your art, be it painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography or video. Our fantastic bundle of prizes includes generous cash awards, solo shows and residencies, mentoring and more.
“I am air-punchingly proud of the judges that we have brought together this year. We have spent time with each of them and taken note of their wise advice to make changes to the Open to ensure it is the best ever. This year’s competition will be bigger, more accessible and with greater opportunities to buy than ever before, I guarantee it.
“Every available wall at Black Swan Arts will display work chosen for the exhibition: the shop, the café, the Round Tower Gallery and the Long Gallery and even the corridors. Every piece will be for sale and priced up to a maximum of £1,000, and with lecture lunches and discussion dinners, buyers’ drinks and opportunities to meet artists, everyone should have a chance to find a work to take home.”
The deadline for entries is midnight on Thursday 2nd June. All entries must be submitted online at: www.blackswanarts.org.uk
