Final reminder that handing in takes place this Saturday 8 March (10am-12noon) and Monday 10 March (10am – 5pm) for ArtCare’s Open exhibition.
Information packs are available on our website http://www.artcare.salisbury.
The ArtCare Open is always an exhibition with works of outstanding quality, selected fairly from a large number of entries. The Open exhibition is a great way to showcase your work with nearly 4000 staff and tens-of-thousands of weekly visitors seeing work along the hospital corridors. Remember too that all money raised from entry fees, as well as commissions on sales, supports the ArtCare project which is funded by charitable contributions. The art service is widely appreciated by patients, staff and visitors alike and we very much hope that you will support our work again with a submission of your works.
Entries will be chosen for the final exhibition and an overall winner will receive a prize of £200 and an opportunity to exhibit later in the year. There will also be two runners-up prizes of £100 – these prizes have again been kindly sponsored by The League of Friends as they consider the Open exhibition an invaluable opportunity to bring colour and inspiration onto the corridors here at Salisbury District Hospital.
The selection process will take place on the evening of 12 March by a panel of judges from a variety of arts and healthcare backgrounds. A presentation will take place on Friday 21 March at the Lecture Theatre Education Centre, Level 5, SDH North for all artists who have submitted works and invited guests.
We are able to exhibit approximately 120 works in total. The Open is always a highlight in our exhibition calendar with good levels of interest and sales.
Concerned about parking? Please note we have extra times and dates for handing in on Saturdays. This is more convenient for artists who work during the week and it also avoids busier hospital times. See the map attached that shows where you can temporarily pull up with your car. Why not make the most of the day and combine your visit with a trip into Salisbury city!
