Artist Open Call
MINI
Contemporary Miniature Art Exhibition
Wales, UK.
Deadline 05/07/24
Who?
Canfas Gallery is hosting a small contemporary art exhibition of miniature works, inviting UK based artists from all backgrounds and disciplines over the age of 18.
Brief:
Artists can submit up to 3 pieces of work each under the ‘miniature’ theme. It is free to apply but all pieces must be for sale for the duration of the exhibition. Please take into account that Canfas takes a commission of 45% on the final sale price. Work can be in any medium except audio/visual.
2D works can be any shape but the size is limited to a maximum of 10cm on any one side. Framing/ mount size can be bigger but the actual artwork measurements and the total external measurements (including any frame or mount) must be provided. All 2D work should be ready to hang, framed or unframed, with suitable hanging attachments in place (i.e. D-rings).
For 3D works you can choose between a maximum size of 10cm in any direction, with a second option of 1:12 scale. Display options will need to be considered. Plinths/ shelving will be available but you are recommended to provide your own display case on top of these if required (i.e. perspex box/ bell jar). Alternatively, there will be a display cabinet that works can go inside. Like 2D work, any 3D wall hung pieces will need suitable hanging attachments.
All 2D and 3D work should arrive ready to display.
You are required to submit online:*
- 1 Image per work (up to 3 in total), no more than 5MB each
- Details of each work: Title, Size (actual, plus external measurements of frame/ mount/ display case), Medium, and final sale price (note the Canfas commission of 45% on sales).
