Unhooked Exhibition Open Call

Unhooked the Exhibition is being hosted at Yellow Edge Gallery, Stoke Road, Gosport from October 8th - 17th 2021, to raise awareness of mental health as well as raise much needed fund for Solent branch of Mind charity.

As Hampshire's leading mental health charity, Solent Mind are there to make sure that anyone with a mental health problem has somewhere to turn to for advice and support. Solent Mind helps 26000 people every year.

Unhooked will showcase the work of 20 artists, each depicting their own struggles with mental health issues. We are currently seeking artists who would like to be considering for inclusion in the exhibition. Ideally we'd like works depicting the artist's own experiences with mental health struggles to help viewers get a better idea about the condition. We are inviting our artists to submit up to eight pieces, which will be offered for sale to buyers with only a 10% gallery fee charged. 

We are also looked for businesses to sponsor the event (if we can get enough sponsorship, participation fees will be waived) and the individual artists.

Finally, we are seeking art donations for our charity art auction. All contributing artists will be credited in our social media posts and event literature.
