We are delighted to invite you to submit your applications for our upcoming exhibition in London at the Old Biscuit Factory, where we will explore the culture around African Art.

African culture differs from country to country, but also within each country with a vast variety of tribes, arts, music, dance and much more. An endless range of aesthetic qualities reflects upon the whole continent, from Morocco and Yibuti through the North Africa. African art often hides a meaning or a symbolism.

Historically, art movements of the 20th century had been inspired by African art. European painters like Picasso, Matisse, Derain, Kandinsky, were impressed by the lively and powerful expression of the African art, including daring colour combinations and definite forms. 

The purpose of this call is to explore a variety of influences that derives from the African culture, rather than depicting the African landscapes. A powerful interaction merges different cultures and leads to completely unpredictable and unprecedented art creations. 

Artists of all mediums and from all countries are welcome to apply, including painters, sculptors, photographers, designers, illustrators, performers and video artists. 

We are responsible for covering every aspect of the exhibition. The only thing that the artists need to do, is to deliver/post their work to us, and enjoy the exhibition we have prepared for them. Our services include:

• Catalogues (hard copies) - the catalogues include a short bio/artist statement, image of the artists' works, their email address and their website. Artists who live abroad, outside London or who are unable to attend, will receive a copy of the catalogue via post.

• e-Catalogues - a digital version of the catalogue with hyperlinks to each artist's website. Those catalogues are easy to share, and they will be there for you to order one, in case you loose your original copy of the catalogue. See our e-Catalogues here.

​• Installation of the work in the venue

​• Storage of the artworks for up to one week after the end of the show. We can also post your work back to you (the artists are responsible for the postage expenses).

​• Promotion of the exhibition and the participants through our mailing list (more than 2000 subscribers) and on social media.

​• Documentation of the artists' work in the venue.

Everyone can apply for free to participate in our show and we do not take any commission from the sales! This is why an affordable fee will be applied only to selected artists, which will go towards the expenses of each show:

​• Gallery hire

​• Drinks for the opening event

​• Posters and catalogues design

​• Printing costs (posters/catalogues/labels)
