The New Artist | Open Call
Deadline: 03/08/2024City: London | Country: United Kingdom | Boomer Gallery
In the past century, humankind has witnessed unprecedented innovation and transformation- from towering skyscrapers to moon landings, from the rise of social media to the evolution of human rights. But what about Art?
In our fast-paced society, where time feels increasingly scarce, artists face an ever more challenging path. The relentless pace of change demands a state of constant transcendence, a theme profoundly echoed in contemporary art.
This exhibition aims to explore these trends in contemporary art, fostering a dialogue between artists and viewers. We invite you to join us in this exploration, where the pulse of today's art world meets the timeless human quest for meaning.
Gallery Space
Our gallery is located in the vibrant heart of the iconic Tower Bridge area in London. An elegant blend of historical richness and modern energy, our space serves as an extraordinary platform for artists and audiences alike.
Boomer Gallery is proud to be among the 4,000 global art galleries featured on Artsy, the world's largest community of art collectors.
An exhibition with us is more than just presence in a famous location and the potential for sales, it's a doorway to the world.
Submission Guidelines
To apply, send us three images of your work (three different pieces), each with its title, size in cm, medium, price, and a short biography of no more than 150 words.
Eligible media include, but are not limited to, paintings, sculptures, photography, installations, prints, textiles, illustrations, digital art, Ai assisted art, poems, etc.
Application is free, but a £189 fee (including VAT) applies for each selected artist. This fee covers an extensive suite of benefits:
• Printed catalogues, posters, and brochures
• Admin support
• Graphic designer services
• Champagne & caviar at the opening event
• Professional photographer to document the event
• Hostess, security, and bartender services at the opening
• Printing and framing for the artists who opt for that (printing and framing is included in the price).
Our exhibition catalogues, both digital and printed, are state-of-the-art. They present the artist's profile in a magazine-like format, making them valuable beyond the exhibition itself. The catalogue will be permanently displayed on our website and continuously circulated by artists, art collectors, and enthusiasts.
We facilitate direct connections between artists and collectors and do not charge a commission. Each sale happens directly between the artist and the customer. If you would like us to broker the sale, a 20% VAT will be applied on top of your initial price so please take that into consideration when pricing your works.
Printing and Framing Support:
If you're an accepted artist facing difficulties shipping your work to us, you can send us photos of your work. We'll print and frame them for you at no additional cost. Rest assured, we strive to match the quality of your original artwork as closely as possible.
Frame sizes available:
1. 32 x 32 cm
2. 30 x 40 cm
A frequent question we receive is: how much should I price my prints if I decide to go with that option? We typically price a framed print at £400, but if you have a different price in mind, please let us know.
Remember, printing and framing are included in the participation fee, you don’t have to pay anything extra.
