http://www.100sqft.co.uk/

What is 100 sqft

An opportunity for artists to exhibit their work - no matter what their background alongside established artists and designers.

When and Where is the exhibition.

The 4th Exhibition will be at the beginning of August - with a Launch Party @ the Chomley Boys Club, 68 Boleyn Road, London N16 8JG, giving a chance for the participating artsists and those interested in meeting them to get together at one of Dalstons undiscovered gems - The deadline for submitted digital images will be the end of June - but it's best to get them in early so that we can promote your work.

We are inviting everyone to join us for the launch evening to meet up for a drink and enjoy the entertainment laid on by resident DJ's 'Our Friends Eclectic' - if you would like to attend and be kept in touch of proceedings please add your name to our mailing list (link at the top right) so we can contact you about tickets.

You will be responsible for delivering your artwork to the venue, and dates will be anounced well in advance when the 100sqft website board is full. If you are a new artist looking to be discovered this good be a great kick start to your career.

Who can enter

Anyone -Painters, Illustrators, Photographers, Multimedia artists, Sculptors

Whats the concept.

100 pieces of art each 1 foot square to be exhibited in a 10x10 grid at a gallery in North London. The layout will be displayed on the website - you simply book a square pay the 25 pound entry fee and send a 1000 pixel square image of your work by email - as soon as we receive the image we put it on the website. This means if you want to you can react to other artists work by placing your work alongside. Then when all squares are booked we take all the original pieces of work and display them in a gallery.

What size can my work be.

All submitted work must b 1ft square (or roughly 30cm) and although it can be 3 dimensional the depth must be no more than 2 inches. The artwork can be on any ground and in any medium. There will be a grid constructed to hold work for the exhibition so your work must be 1ft square and not irregular in shape or it will not fit. If your artwork is on paper we ask you to mount it on foam board before sending to us. We cannot exhibit any artwork that falls outside of these specifications.
