Open Call for Artists and Writers - Hide and Seek Exhibition



Source: Carl Warner

Deadline for applications: 14th February 2015

Exhibition dates: 22nd May - 7th June

Hide and Seek will be an exhibition full of hidden works, ready for visitors to seek out. The art works will be displayed in unconventional ways interacting with the space and it's furnishings. Therefore this is a call out for artists and writers who like to tickle their audience with curiosity. Feeding viewers intrigue and heightening their attention to detail.
This call out welcomes any medium, including but not limited to - sculpture, painting, drawing, installation and writing. For instance, I am looking for writers who want to hide their words around a room. Sculptors and Installation artists who would like to give visitors a peek of miniature worlds, or unusual curiosities and collections. Illustrators who would like to see their drawings interact with a space. I am also looking for surprises, ideas I haven't entertained yet.
Artists are welcome and encouraged to submit multiple works or a collection of artworks. These can be ready for install or proposals for site specific works, although submissions must be highly visual with drawn plans of any proposed work (with an exception for writer proposals). Artist's are also welcome to provide their own furnishings for their work to inhabit, which they must include in their proposal. Although please note this is not essential.

To Apply:
Please submit a proposal, artist statement, images (or examples of writing) and a website link to any further work. 
The proposal should be of no more than 500 words and describe the work you are submitting for this exhibition and any ideas of how it could be hidden within the space.
The statement should be if no more than 500 words about your work as an artist or writer.
Please include a maximum of 6 JPEG images or examples of written work. 

There is no submission fee for this exhibition, however for selected works there is a small fee per artist of £15. This supports Fringe Arts Bath, a not-for-profit, volunteer-run community organisation.
