BINGO
Deadline for this Open Call is 11:59pm BST on October 6th, 2023.
CALLING ALL ARTISTS & CREATIVES
Aire Place Studios presents BINGO. This exhibition has no theme – just pot luck!
It’s hard work applying for shows. You never really know what the selection panel are looking for or who you are up against. So, let’s keep it simple. Everything has been striped away in this show to be as fair as possible. Each artwork will be chosen completely at random. There is no selection panel, just submit as many artworks as you would like, sit back and let lady luck do the rest!
Here’s how it will work:
We charge a fee of £5 per entry, unlimited entries. Each artwork will be assigned a number up to 90. You will receive your number(s) via email. Numbers will then be revealed on Instagram LIVE with a bingo wheel (Friday 13th October). Artworks will be chosen completely at random until the house is full and the winners will receive an email to confirm their place in the exhibition.
We are looking for artists and creatives working with any medium but not limited to (painting, sculpture, photography, performance, video art, animation, film, documentaries, poetry, writing).
The exhibition will be open to the public for 3 weeks starting the 3rd November 2023 – 24th November and includes a public opening event on Friday 3rd November (1pm – 5pm).
Works must be delivered / shipped to the gallery by Wednesday 1st November (all shipped work MUST include a prepaid return postage).
We are trying to remove as many barriers to showing work in a physical gallery space as possible, therefore we have a limited number of frames, projectors, and a TV that creatives can borrow to allow them to exhibit in our space – These are limited and will only be appropriate for A4 & A3 sized 2D work. Please email us if this is a requirement at: exhibitions@aireplacestudios.com
