OPEN CALL FAQ’s
GIANT will be hosting its first ever open exhibition of work, in association with the Dorset Art Prize.
The theme is ENVIRONMENT.
If you have artwork you'd like to submit, please bring it to the gallery in person on Tuesday 21st November, between 12pm and 6pm.
Artist and Curator Stuart Semple, Creative Director Ben Friend and Gallery Manager Verity Slade will discuss the work with you, and if you are successful your piece will be included in a forthcoming exhibition opening next Friday.
Please see below for answers to FAQs
Can I book a time slot on Tuesday?
No, please just drop in to the gallery at any point between 12-6pm. Unfortunately we cannot accept any artworks outside of these times
Can I bring multiple works?
Yes, but we will generally only select 1 work per artist - please don’t bring more than 3 pieces along with you
What mediums will you accept? Is 3D okay as well?
We will consider all mediums including 3D, our space is limited though so if you can’t physically carry a piece into the gallery it may be too large for this show
Should the work be framed?
Where possible, please bring framed work - if it’s not framed please make sure there is a way it can be hung on a wall if 2D
How closely does artwork need to meet the theme of ‘The Environment’?
The environment as a theme can be interpreted however you see fit, but works should show some relevance (we may ask you what the relevance is)
How long will my work be up for?
The exhibition will run in our project space until Saturday 20th January - please make sure your piece is available for the duration of the show
Can anyone submit work?
Yes! Please don’t travel too far to submit though, this is a celebratory community show with works presented alongside the Dorset Art Prize.
