Local Open Exhibition!

Local Open Exhibition!

Moretonhampstead finally has its new dedicated space for artists and exhibitions!

This is the first year Green Hill Arts will be hosting the Local Open in our new gallery.   We want it to be a vibrant local platform for resident visual artists and craft makers.  We aim to support our new and emerging talent alongside more established artists.

The Brief

The exhibition is open to works in all media.  Whatever your work - 2D, 3D, projection, performance, installation - we would love to see it. We want you to make a submission that reflects your most recent work.

Aim - to be as open as possible, to let every local artist have the chance to show their work in the town, and for the community to come and see what is so often hidden.

We will have two exhibitions. The First Show, will aim to hang all submissions. The exhibition will run from Saturday 28th January 2012 to  Saturday 18th February 2012.  There will be a private view on Friday 27 January 2012, 18.00  to 20.00.  A selection panel, made up of three artists from outside the town, will select works from the First Show for the Local Open which will run from Saturday 25th February 2012 and end on Sunday 12th March 2012.  There will be a private view on Friday 24th February 2012, 18.00 to 20.00.

The deadline for submission of your application and cheque is 16 January 2012.
