Number of entries: Each artist may submit up to TWO entries, although only ONE work per artist will be exhibited (if selected).
Entry fee: $30 per entry of up to 2 works. The entry fee will cover the cost of the catalogue, the Selector fee, the opening function and other associated costs.
Types of works: This exhibition showcases a contemporary approach tp exploring different ways of engaging with imagery, materials, processes and technologies. It is envisaged that works selected will be diverse, ranging from floor-based, wall mounted and plinth, to a variety of hanging installations. Size of works is not restricted, but do consider that the gallery dimensions are moderate and smller works may allow more possibilities for placement.
Theme: open, Format/media: open. Ceiling hung works will be permitted. Plinths will also be available for some works. All wall-hung works must be framed (unless framing is inappropriate). Work may be collaborative and work completed in the last couple of years will be acceptable as long as it has not been previously shown at North Art.
"The traditional boundaries of printed art are themselves not as clear as they were. In the popular imagination, the quintessential print might be a delicate black and white etching, but there is actually no such thing as the quintessential print. Artists are continually redefining parameters " (Deborah Wye, p.7 ‘Thinking Print’, 1996).
