ARTWEEKS 2019 - Be a valuable part of our large and successful group show. Entries accepted until 10th October 2018

SJE Arts Cloister Gallery is welcoming submission entries from artists and craftspeople in all mediums, hanging and plinth-based work to create a group of 18-20 talented artists for an 'in-house' curated and invigilated selling exhibition.

PROMOTION OPPORTUNITIES
In addition for 2019, we welcome artists who are keen to demonstrate their craft, run workshops or talks to promote their artwork. The beautiful cloister gardens will be part of the exhibition space offered so we are particularly keen to hear from sculptors who can benefit from these beautiful surroundings.

ABOUT SJE ARTS
The historic grade II cloister and tranquil atmosphere of the College make the gallery space popular with visitors; the connection with SJE Arts concert venue brings extra publicity and footfall. Previous artists have enjoyed the benefits of being in a well-organised and supported group. Artweeks 2019 will build on this further by offering an unrivalled artist exhibition package, extending the Artweeks event to take advantage of the extra footfall from Easter concerts etc.
