January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2013.
Deadline: August 31, 2012.
Application fee: none

Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt art ITis a postgraduate development programme for female fine artists. It is a one-year course that develops the skills and knowledge a freelance artist needs to pursue a successful career.

http://www.goldrausch-kuenstlerinnen.de/2012/bewerbung2013_english.pdf

The objective of Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt is to promote the work of female fine artists, giving it a strong public presence. The course, which is aimed solely at women, focuses on actively empowering its participants by providing access to the skills and knowledge artists need to pursue their chosen career.

 Throughout the year the artists on the course – working in a variety of media – will acquire specialist knowledge, meet with gallerists and curators and learn to promote and present their work. They will design and set up their own websites and create a catalogue of their work. At the end of the course the artists will present their work in a group exhibition.

 This programme offers female fine artists a platform on which to present their work to a growing public and to build a professional network in the art world. Guest speakers and invited guests will convey and help the participants acquire important knowledge required for a career as an artist, as well as basic multimedia skills.

Creating a public arena for one’s work is vital for building a successful career. Our goal is to provide room to experiment and an environment that enables participants to pursue their artistic paths.

 The course will consist of seminars and practical workshops, which will be designed to always relate to the artists’ work. We require that participants show independent initiative and work in teams.

Cabinet Exhibition - Islington Arts Factory, London

Calling for artist submissions
Deadline: 10 July, 2012
Application fee: none

Cabinet Exhibition is a group show that presents the work of several international emergent artists. Based on the concept of the early modern ‘Cabinets of Curiosities’, this exhibition draws together painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, video and other more contemporary practices, all arranged in a unconventional display. The result is a sort of arrhythmic mosaic intended to present a panoramic view of art production nowadays.

This exhibition aims to be an immersive experience for the curious visitor who will face an unorthodox eclectic selection of artworks, from street art brought into the gallery to paintings on ham and visual soundscapes, amongst others. The dialogue between the artworks displayed will favour new analogies and comparisons, leading the visitors to make fresh associations and come out with new ideas.

We are looking for artists willing to be a part of the project. The exhibition will be held at the Islington Arts Factory from the 14th-21st September 2012

To apply please send us a sample of your work (a portfolio or website, flickr, etc.), a CV and a short text about your practice to cabinetexhibition@gmail.com.

The deadline for applications is 10/07/2012.

For more info, please go to http://cabinetexhibition2012.wordpress.com/ or write to us on cabinetexhibition@gmail.com

Cabinet Exhibition welcomes all kinds of artworks, of any subject and media. This is an independent, low-budget project, open to everyone to apply. Initially, we cannot cover transport costs or any other expenses.
