tart 29 April 2024 (International Dance day)
Deadline for submissions 14 September by 23.59
Artwork must be delivered by 29 September (World Heart day)
Who can Apply: Anyone worldwide
Cost: Free to enter.
Once selected you will be invited to pay £6 for 1 / £10 for 2+ artworks to cover printing and media costs.
Created by Lorrain Mailer of Ashford Visual Artists UK in conjunction with Juliana Lauletta of Artly Mix in São Paulo, Brazil.
The project will run from International Dance day, 29 April to World Heart day, 29 September. The two international exhibitions will be held over Restart a Heart Day, 16 October. The Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope Gallery in Kent, UK (9-19 October) and at Echo’s Studios, São Paulo, Brazil (dates to be confirmed). Artwork delivered to either address will be exhibited at that location with a “same size” image displayed at the other location. In essence you exhibit in both!
We would greatly welcome after these events, if you would donate your work and thereby exhibit again in March 2025 at the University of the Creative Arts in Canterbury, UK. The aim is to auction THE BEAT artwork to raise funds for UCA’s BA Fine Art degree show. The auction will be streamed live, and you will be able to download it. This will offer you a third exhibition, video of the event and your buyer’s details to add to your client list along with the warmth of knowing you have helped out another emerging artist in these constrained times.
