Open Call for Artists from Across the World
About
The Gallery is inviting artists aged 18 and over to apply to present a high-impact artwork as part of Artichoke’s ambitious public art initiative.
The Gallery is a new kind of cultural institution without walls that challenges traditional models of viewing art. Each season they invite artists to respond to critical and urgent questions of their time. The aim of the project is to generate meaningful debate and start a national conversation through art.
The Gallery is supported by Arts Council Northern Ireland, Colwinston Charitable Trust, The Esmé Mitchell Trust, The Ashley Family Foundation, The Austin & Hope Pilkington Trust, and Idlewild Trust.
Theme
The theme for The Gallery Season 2 exhibition is The State We’re In.
Flood, fire and famine, national identity, reproductive rights, gender politics, inflation, spiralling energy costs and war are just some of the issues they face today. The Gallery invites 10 artists from around the world to make art about The State We’re In.
In its second season, The Gallery continues with its mission to show contemporary art that addresses critical issues of their time, provoking meaningful debate and public discourse.
Shown on billboards and digital screens across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, artworks will be selected for their divergent views and their ability to spark a national conversation from the public and in the media. The nature of the debate will be, as always, unpredictable.
What you get?
Artists will be supported to develop and adapt their work for outdoor presentation. They will also receive ongoing mentoring and advice during the process.
