This show is now closed to applications!

We are on the search for the hottest new Illustration & printmaking talent to join the Boxbird Artists in our May 2010 show 'A to B: An exhibition of Contemporary printmaking inspired by travel'. All the work in the show will be based on the experience of travel, countries, foreign landscapes and transport making it a very open and exciting brief to work to! 

We will be accepting 10 new artists to the exhibition and all the entries will be judged by Gallery Owners Alice Teague & Graham Carter

The exhibition will be open from Friday 7th May - Sunday 30th May 2010. All work will be on show in the gallery & sold online through boxbird.co.uk.

For this exhibition all the work must be hand made, ie. originals, screenprinted, mono prints, gocco, lino cut etc etc. We will not be accepting any digital or giclee prints. You may not have produced prints before in which case we can advise you how to go about it should you be accepted!
