Call for entries: Winter Pride Art Awards

CALL FOR ENTRIES

WINTER PRIDE ART AWARDS

We invite the creators, 

The curious, the yearners...

All in to make a mark on the night,

With sound, flavour, texture and sight.

Let others dream asleep in their bed, 

We’ll stay awake and sleep when we’re dead.

The night is our muse, our canvas, our clay 

It’s yours for the making so come out and play.

Don’t be afraid to create something new,

Go make the night, it’s up to you...

The Winter Pride Art Awards is a new arts competition for emerging and established artists with the aim of promoting innovative artworks created for exhibition at a vast, vaulted, Victorian warehouse space.

Open to all artists with an inventive spirit, the shortlisted finalists will be previewed from 3-5 February 2014 at CHART gallery, 62 Old Church Street, London SW3 6DP (www.chartgallery.co.uk).

All the finalists will be exhibited during a VIP Awards Ceremony at Winter Pride on 8 February 2014 at the Tobacco Dock Victorian Vaults, 50 Porters Walk, London E1W 2SF.
