Artist Call Out
We are excited to announce that we are introducing exhibitions to our regular programme at the Albany Theatre. Located in our foyer area, our exhibitions will be seen by our many theatre goers as well as those attending one of the many creative workshops that we host, so this is a great opportunity to have your work viewed by a large audience.
Our first exhibition will begin during our upcoming festival, Engage, Inspire, Create, on the weekend of 21st-22nd June and we are looking for artists at any stage of their career to have their work featured. Applicants must however be local to Coventry.
Please be aware that this is not a paid opportunity but is available to artists who are excited by the prospect of having their artwork displayed in a bustling arts venue. All artworks can, however, be made available for sale if requested.
So, if you are a visual artist who makes work, we would love to hear from you. To register your interest, please complete this form.
Please send your completed form or any questions to sophie.jonesdavies@albanytheatre.co.uk
