Call for artists
Contemporary British Printmakers 2025 - Call for Art
Artizan Collective are seeking printmakers to join them for the second year of Contemporary British Printmakers
Delamore
Delamore arts is an annual month-long exhibition that has been running successfully for just over 20 years. It attracts artists and visitors from across the UK with all works selected by a panel of judges to ensure and maintain a high standard of work. Whilst its focus initially was on sculptural works that are placed within the grounds and the house, 2D works have become an important part of the offer and adorn the walls in the main house salon style to compliment a supporting collection of interior 3D works.
Delamore regularly sees repeat visitors for whom this event is part of their arts calendar and many of those visitors come with the intent to buy. There is a café on site so most visitors will spend several hours and fully explore all that is on offer. Proceeds from the exhibition support a designated charity that is selected each year by Delamore.
Artizan
For the month of May, we move to Delamore Estate and support this fantastic annual showcase with our own curated offer. Contemporary British Printmakers takes over one of the two stable block galleries, a charming white walled stable conversion set in a small courtyard with other neighbouring arts offers. This will be our second year collaborating with Delamore after a successful showcase in 2024 which introduced audiences to a full spectrum of the medium including everything from mezzotint to mokulito to monotype.
This year we’ll also be looking to expand the popular programme of demonstrations and “have a go” sessions that we ran.
Contemporary British Printmakers Offer
We are offering the opportunity to participate in a fully stewarded, curated and marketed printmakers exhibition, hosted by Delamore Arts and produced by Artizan Collective CIC.
This exhibition will also then tour back to the Artizan Printmaking and Sculpture Gallery for their Summer season, offering over 2 months exhibition time across the two events.
Artists are initially asked to submit an expression of interest showcasing their portfolio via their online presence or alternatively via a portfolio document (PDF, video, doc etc.)
Successful artists will then be asked to submit up to 6 framed works (maximum 80x80cm inclusive of framing) for selection from which we commit to select at least 2 to hang and 2 to hold in reserve (i.e. provision of 4 framed pieces). Artists will also be able to provide up to 3 browser works for display which should differ from the 4 selected/reserved works (i.e. 7 unique works in total across framed and browser work).
If you primarily produce small/miniature work (less than 30x30cm) we may select up to the full 6 works for display/reserve at our discretion.
Across these works, artists will also be able to provide as many editions of the print run as they wish to make available for immediate purchase as part of the event, with Artizan also taking orders up to the maximum number of the edition still available.
