Call for work 2

To all artists, photographers and poets in the Colchester area

You are invited to send in submissions as soon as possible for the first and second phases of the "Art at the Heat(beat)" Art Trail, a public art trail exhibition in shop windows throughout Colchester town centre. Work will be in place for one month and then changed for a second month. A catalogue will be produced.

During the months of march and April, we will be filling up as many shop windows, both empty shops and working shops with artworks. There will be a catalogue and a map to create a proper trail. The art will be displayed directly inside the shop windows on an A2 piece of foamboard, with the artist's name and 50 words of interpretation.

Subject matter is unlimited and any original 2D work may be submitted
including a painting in any medium, a print, illustration or graphic
work, textile work, photograph, poem or prose etc.
We are looking for work which we can either use directly or scan and reproduce using fine printing techniques. The work should be no larger than A3 size, or would work well reduced or enlarged to that size in either portrait or landscape format. It might be a painting or a photograph, a poem, a haiku, or some words of wisdom, or you might surprise us with something new... Work will be mounted by Slack Space onto a standard sized and formatted board which will be either A2 or A3 in size. The board will also contain the artists details, title of work and details of Slack Space.

Selected work should be provided either as a finished piece of
artwork, preferred size A4 or A3, or electronically in tiff, jpeg or
PDF format at a minimum of 300 dpi. Original artworks should not be
framed, but may be provided loose or mounted in a matte. Poetry and
prose may be submitted as a graphic or word document . At our
discretion, we will either mount artworks onto our standard display
backing or scan and resize the work to be printed at as high a quality
as possible.

Please submit work and ideas to this address by email as a jpg, tiff or pdf or as a text document in the case of written word in the first instance, marked submission to” Art at the Heart”, or if that is not possible, email with a description and we will arrange a time for you to show it to us.


Submissions tocolchesterslackers (at) googlemail.com should include the following:
An electronic copy of the artwork or, where this is not possible, a
detailed description and illustrative examples
The title of the work as the artist wishes it to appear
Name, address and email of the artist and any pseudonym
Up to 60 words of description and biographical details of the artist
