December Fair

Are you a Black or *Global Majority artist or artisan living in the UK? CasildART Contemporary is inviting artists from these communities to submit their work to be considered for an affordable art fair during the holiday season. 

CasildART is a not-for-profit Black-led gallery that showcases the work of contemporary Black artists. We recognise that many other groups are ‘minoritised’ and excluded from commercial art galleries so we have decided to celebrate Global Majority artists in our first December Art Festival. We welcome submissions from new and emergent artists residing in the UK.

Ornament

Artists are invited to submit work that embodies ideas and elements of “Ornament.” This may be reflected in style, subject matter, mood, materials, method of execution or in whatever way the artist chooses. In addition to works recognizable as ornaments themselves, we welcome art that explores the many ways and reasons why humans (or other species!) practice embellishment - of our bodies, personal spaces, vehicles, etc.  Craft (single objects or multiples) is welcome and artists are encouraged to consider this an opportunity for holiday sales, with work priced accordingly.

Trompe L'oeil

Trompe L’oeil invites artists to create work centered on ideas of illusion, perception and reality.  A French phrase meaning ‘deceives the eye’, Trompe L’oeil is a theme in art, generally used to describe work that creates a true-to-life depiction of a real object, scene or being. These artworks question reality and the aesthetics of realism.  Trompe l’oeil forces the viewer to question what we see every day and consider the boundary between the artist's world and our own.
