Open Call: Frights and Delights - An Enchanted Autumn Exhibition

Artist Brief

This October we are holding an exhibition at the St George’s Arts Centre, Gravesend, based on the themes of Autumn and Halloween.

Part of the exhibition will focus on cosy Autumnal vibes, warmth, light and the delicate rustic golden side, whilst the other part will focus on the more mystical part of the season, the wickedly wonderful family friendly side of Halloween festivities.

Think: Pumpkin Spice and All Things Nice meets the Wickedly Wonderful Witching Hour!

The exhibition will run from Tuesday 14^th October – Sunday 2nd November.

Part of the exhibition is open call, and we are therefore inviting artists/crafters of all ages to submit up to 3 pieces of work for consideration.

Submissions can be in 2D or 3D media including but not restricted to painting, drawing, print, photography, sculpture, pottery, jewellery, crochet etc but must reflect the themes of either Cosy Autumn or family friendly Halloween, or even both!

There will be a small charge for every piece of work chosen to be part of the exhibition, however, the work can be sold and there will be no commission fee charged. 

Ages 17 and under £5 per piece of work.

Ages 18+ £10 per piece of work.

Entry for the exhibition will close on Sunday 28^th September at 11.59pm.

Successful entries will be informed the following week, and work will need to be dropped off at the gallery between Wednesday 1^st and Sunday 12^th October.

It is the artists' responsibility to ensure all work is delivered ready to be hung. The gallery will not add fixings to the artwork.

It is also the artists’ responsibility to insure their work.

The Gallery is unable to return artwork by post.
