CALLING ALL MEMBERS OF SOUTH LONDON WOMEN ARTISTS.
The 5th exhibition of work by SLWA at Dulwich Library is to run from
Sunday 27 February– Saturday 26th March 2011.
WOMEN and BOOKS
This will coincide with Southwark’s 6th Year of Celebrating Women, and 100 years of International Women’s Day on 8 March 2011.
In order to explore further SLWA’s established relationship with Dulwich Library and this important centenary, we have decided to give our show a theme. And what better theme, given our location thanWOMEN and BOOKS
Your work might be inspired by a writer, a genre or a book, but if not, your work could be opened up to new meanings with the help of a new title. ‘The Remains of the Day’, ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’ or an inversion like ‘ a View from a Room’. It would be great to enrich the show with texts – so please tell us about the work you are submitting!
This Spring and Autumn exhibition is now a fixture in the calendar and a good way to keep up the profile of our artists in a space that is fast establishing itself as a venue to view and buy small original artworks.
The library is a well used resource centre and the exhibition will be seen by large numbers of people during the month of March.
The previous shows have sold well and there have been several ‘after show sales’ proving that keeping our work in the public eye is important and effective for us as a group and as individuals.
Cost: No submission fee.
£10.00 if work accepted. The slightly increased fee is to cover the extra cost of producing a catalogue to celebrate this exhibition, and to develop publicity. A commission of 10% to SLWA will be levied on sales. Works will be for sale unless specified otherwise by the artist.
We are continuing our education work with local schools, organising visits so that pupils can meet the artists, be inspired and enhance their curriculum studies, further raising our profile with parents and in the community. See the end of this note for how to get involved.
