Call for artists
Artist Open Call - Inspirational Women Artists
Submit works for Inspirational Women Artists — an exhibition and silent auction celebrating International Women’s Day 2022
To celebrate International Women’s Day 2022, ‘a space’ arts are hosting a silent auction of artworks by female identifying artists, with a two week exhibition at our flagship venue, God’s House Tower (GHT), and are now looking for artists to submit works.
The Brief
For this exciting new open call, each contributing artist will create an A4 image, which could be a photograph, a drawing, a print, a collage or a printed digital artwork inspired by a female identifying artist who has influenced their artistic practice. To accompany the artwork, artists will be asked to write 50 -100 words about their chosen artist.
The submitted works will be featured in a two week exhibition at our flagship venue, God’s House Tower (GHT) in the lead up to International Women’s Day 2022. During that time, visitors will be able to bid in a silent auction to buy any of the works. For each artwork sold 50% of the proceeds will go to the artist who made the work and 50% will be donated to Yellow Door, a Southampton-based charity that prevents and responds to domestic and sexual abuse.
On Tuesday 8th March, there will be an event at GHT during which any final bids can be made and exhibiting artists can meet and celebrate.
