An Exhibition of Printmaking
Artizan Collective is pleased to revisit its headline 2020 exhibition, “The Design Room”, which premiered and was abruptly ended just as the UK went into the first national lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite being short lived, the exhibition was well received, and the Collective looks forward to expanding its development in 2021.
The exhibition welcomes printmakers of all practices to submit on a selective basis including those working with print as part of a textiles and interiors practice, and 3D works incorporating print and paper such as bookbinding and handmade papers.
Opportunities
This is a selective opportunity to which any artist can submit up to a maximum of 10 unique works be they framed for wall display, mounted for browser display, unframed and unmounted for peg display, or 3D for shelf display. Further details are below:
Accepted mediums include any form of relief, intaglio or planographic printmaking (etching, lithograph, woodblock, monotype etc.), darkroom photography practice, textile and 3D works that include an element of print;
Excluded mediums include, traditional painting processes and digital photography;
Submissions of relevant 3D/sculptural work are welcomed, artists may wish to make direct enquiries about the suitability of work to tdr21@artizangallery.co.uk;

A maximum of 5 framed works can be submitted;

A maximum of 10 mounted works can be submitted;
“Unframed and unmounted” work is considered to be on paper, card, textile or a similar lightweight medium.

There are no restrictions on work dimensions;
Multiple editions of a work can be provided for sale, these should be provided adequately protected in a portfolio case or other suitable method;

Payments and Fees
There are two ways to contribute when making your submission:
Pay As You Feel: You can enter for no fee or alternatively make a contribution you feel is fair for the opportunity offered. We are grateful for donations of any value made by submitting artists.
Postcard Donation: We successfully launched our Postcard Donation scheme as part of the English Riviera Winter Open Exhibition 2020, allowing artists to instead of paying a submission fee, donate a small work to the collective. This was a popular option that we now continue for all our exhibitions. You can see examples of donations and how the programme is run at art-hub.co.uk/postcards and further details are below.
Postcard Work Donation
Artist choosing to contribute via this method will be asked to donate a postcard work to the exhibition. This can be a small work, and need be no larger than A4 nor be mounted or framed in anyway. It might be a sketch, study, collage, print or experimentation but whatever form it takes you should be comfortable presenting it as a representative example of your work or process. However, the piece does not necessarily have to be similar to the work in your main submission.
We understand that this submission format is not suitable for people working in all mediums, particularly 3D artists, so do contact us to discuss suitable submissions.
Images of postcard works will need to be provided as part of your submission, and if selected will form part of a visual arts support campaign we will run as part of the event.
