Competiton for external artworks to be shown during the annual Art in the Garden Show in Hampshire 2023.

This year we are changing the format of the Competition. Instead of looking for one artwork to go on our '4th Plinth', this time we are looking for a number of artworks to be displayed around the site.

This follows the success of the Woodland Trail at Art in the Garden 2022, with the different artworks and installations along the path and elsewhere. We want to build on this and extend the variety of works on show. So, if you thought your work didn’t fit the previous 'Plinth' criteria, we hope it matches this new brief. There are many different areas and environments around the site including decaying corrugated pig huts, wood pile wall, and under old oak & yew trees, to name a few.

Prize:

At least 5 artists/makers will be selected to display their work at Art in the Garden 2023. One overall winner will receive £150. Plus a People’s Choice prize of £50.

Who can apply?

This is an open call to any artist or maker working in any medium, living in Hampshire or the adjoining counties. Entrants must be 18 years of age or over, including students.
