Job description

ArtDeadline.Com The Art World's Source for Income & Exhibition Opportunities

International Deadline: June 30, 2025– Edition One: Materiality is a special exhibition opportunity for artists, collectors and respected arts organisations to start collaborative relationships.

We have five renowned and experienced judges, and partnered with 10 prestigious award givers. All of which are hand-picked to promote growth and creative development for the exhibiting artists.

THEME
Materiality in art is a conversation between the medium, the artist, and the viewer—a layered discourse that unfolds through tactile and visual encounters. Particularly in printmaking and painting, the materiality of the surface becomes both the language and the substance of expression. The textures of a monotype, the etched grooves of an engraving, the brushstrokes of oil, and the impasto of acrylic all reflect an artist’s intentionality and engage the viewer in a sensory dialogue.

EXHIBITION
The Handbag Factory,
3 Loughborough St,
Vauxhall, London, SE11 5RB
Date 25th – 29th September 2025
