About hotel generation
hotel generation mentors the next generation of digital artists during the critical early stages of establishing a career in the arts. The development programme selects six young digital artists from Scotland, Wales, North England, Midlands, South West and South East England and pair them with their regional art organisation to receive curatorial guidance as they work on an exhibition proposal for arebyte’s exhibition space.
A panel of industry experts assesses the six proposals and selects one for further development into a solo exhibition at arebyte Gallery. The programme aims to equip participants with the confidence to approach galleries with exhibition proposals, the ability to create artworks within specified timelines and budgets, and the proficiency to generate interest in their work through effective promotion efforts.
The theme: The Body, The Mind, The Soul
We seek an initial 250-word work proposal that engages with the theme The Body, The Mind, The Soul. This proposal should offer critical explorations of the human experience in the digital age, investigating how technology can impact our physical existence or shape our mental and philosophical dimensions.
