Be sure you are in contact with us and up to date.
IMPORTANT:
The event programme will be confirmed by mid-Appril 2025.
The opening weekend from 9 to 11 May, Friday to Sunday.
Exhibitions will take place at various locations across Chester City Centre.
The curatorial team will select the works and spaces to work together. This will depend on both the participants' works and the organisational process.
Possible locations: Castlefield Gallery New Art Spaces Chester, St Werburgh's Church, St John's Church, Chester Picturehouse, Grosvenor Museum (locations TBC).
Other locations within Chester City Centre will also be considered, depending on the curatorial and selection process.
We aim to include a variety of non-standard entries, such as installations, videos, projections, objects on display, larger works, or focused small-group projects.
Priorities were allocated on a first-come, first-served basis!
Only if the work was selected we asked for a participation fee of £0 to £30 per work to cover the exhibition costs.
You will only be notified if your work is selected.
