MUSE - Open call

A unique opportunity to take part in a Fine Art exhibition celebrated with a magical night of Masquerade ball and live music!

Glena Art Studio, in collaboration with Candid Arts Trust, is excited to invite visual artists to display their work in a curated exhibition at Candid Arts Gallery. A Masquerade ball will accompany the exhibition on Friday night when all guests will have the chance to enjoy art, live music, and a vibrant networking environment.

The exhibition will take place between the 19-24 of July. The Private View - on the 20th  of July and the Masquerade Ball - on the 22nd of July.

Deadline to apply - the 26th of June.

Every artist can apply with up to 3 artworks.

The title Muse suggests broad and open interpretation. In accord with our Live event theme, we are looking for artworks that express a connection with the idea of masquerade, disguise, theatricality, or any interpretation of the ‘invisible’.

Muse is an invisible force of inspiration and rather implicit experience. An abstract subject or notion for everyone. Thus, concerning the ‘obscure’, such implication provokes a critical concept to address the tendency to see, or twist, things through a personal perspective, always different from what they are, no matter whether the individual is being deceived by outer factors or themselves.  What embodiment of Muse could you find in such context?

During the selection process, priority will be given to any 2D media, such as Painting, Drawing, and Photography, but other 3D, video, and performance artworks that meet the requirements are also welcome for consideration.

There is no application fee, but the selected artists will be required to pay a participation fee of 45£.

The fee is a contribution towards organizational costs, admin work, installation, and live event expenses.

Our purpose is to promote high-quality art, unite art practitioners in an interactive art community, and allow talented artists to gain a valuable presence within the art scene.

We welcome and encourage diversity and equality within any area of art and life. The opportunity is open for artists from any background, dedicated to their art practice.
