ARTWORKS Call to East Anglian Artists: Apply now to exhibit in September 2024

APPLY NOW to exhibit at Artworks 24th Annual Exhibition at Blackthorpe Barn in September 2024!

We invite new artist applications from professional artists living and working in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. Spaces are limited, hence the requirement to have a selection day to view work of all applicants. There are no fees to apply, just fill out an application form, email it & then bring along a selection of your art for consideration by the group.

All contemporary fine art is considered, including painting and drawing, 2d mixed media, fine art printmaking, sculpture and 3D work – including bronze, stone, glass, ceramics, metalwork and mixed media.

We are looking for professional artists whose work will enhance the high standard of artworks we showcase in our annual exhibition.

Visit the Apply page for more information and an application form. After receipt of your application form, you will be invited to present a portfolio of recent work at our Selection Meeting.

No images or lists of works are required for the application form – you will be invited to bring recent examples of work to the selection meeting on Saturday 24th February 2024.

Please note, the selection day is not selecting individual works for exhibition – it is a ‘presentation’ of work to enable the group to select new artists based on the body of work presented.

Deadline for application forms – Saturday 10th February 2024.
Selection Day – Saturday 24th February 2024.
