Calling Liverpool Artists!

If you are a practitioner, living or working in Liverpool or the Merseyside area, or if your work is informed by the region, then Werk, a curatorial agency, and Bluecoat Arts Centre are interested in hearing from you.

Werk is organising Export Office, an ambitious exhibition showcasing current creative practices in Merseyside that will tour internationally in 2008. Werk is keen to hear about artists who produce high quality works from across the visual arts spectrum, including architecture, design, sonic art, applied arts, animation, live art as well as fine art.

Bluecoat Arts Centre is currently closed for a major development, and will reopen in time for Liverpool’s year as European Capital of Culture in 2008. We are doubling our gallery space and will also have new facilities for performance, workshops, artists’ studios and much more. In researching our future programme and the relationship we will have to visual artists working in the region, we are interested in finding out who is doing what.

This is not an application process for a gallery exhibition, but a way for you to tell us about your work. Artists, including recent graduates and post graduates, are invited to submit samples of recent work in a variety of formats (slides, DVD, video etc), which will be returned on request.

Deadline for submissions: 19 March 2007
