CALL FOR ARTISTS – GROUP SHOWS

We have a policy of carefully curating and presenting an ever evolving series of themed group exhibitions at CULTIVATE. We like to keep our walls busy and our visitors curiously excited.

The idea with the group shows is to constantly unite a room and at the same time bring together a diverse set of artists; artists who otherwise might not get a chance to show their work together and indeed might otherwise not get a chance to exhibit in such a high-profile art-filled area like Vyner Street.

These group shows are all about cross-pollination, they’re about good looking shows, busy walls, they’re about introducing your art to people who might not know who you are or who might not have had a chance to experience your art in the flesh. We want people to come in and experience new art, fresh artists, exciting busy shows…

CURRENT ARTIST CALLS:  We currently have two calls for Artists:

‘POP WILL EAT ITSELF’
Opening night: Thursday 1st August, 18:00 – 21:00
Then from: Friday 2nd – 13th August, 2013
A group show opening on First Thursday August 1st and running for two weeks.

An open call group show. Pop art flavours, street flavours, whatever you want to flavour us with, once again the the Cultivate door is open and the invite to come get involved is thrown out…

POP WILL EAT ITSELF – Pop Art? Street Art? Vyner Street pop street? Def Con One? Urban what? Give me spray paint, give me fries to go? Did pop eat itself? What is Pop Art now anyway? Pop who? Social what? Be the first to ‘like’ this, The independent Group? The Pop Group? We are all prostitutes. Pop art? Street Art? Pop Will Eat Who? Public Image Limited? Did you get what you wanted?

LITTLE SUMMER BENEFITS @ CULTIVATE VYNER STREET

Coming up on Thursday 15^th August and running until August 27^th, we have a group show called LITTLE SUMMER BENEFITS. This is to be a two week long, summer benefit fundraiser to help keep all the Cultivation going and support the artist-run Vyner Street gallery space that is Cultivate.

We invite contemporary painters, print makers, street artists, traditional drawers, contemporary artists who occasionally paint on walls or tin cans, minimalists, maximalists, surrealists, photographers (not too many photographers, we get so many photographers every time we put out a call, if you really think you have something good then fire it at us), well framed collage, illustration, artists of all shapes and sizes to come join in (you know what we do at Cultivate, cross pollination, exciting shows alive with all kinds of art).

The show is open, there is no theme or subject and the only restriction, besides the fact that the art needs to excite us (has to be good enough to be on our walls and for us to feel good and want to tell people about it), the only rules are that the art has to be ‘little’ and the price reasonable.

We’re looking for work no bigger than A3 size (45cm x 30cm) plus frame. The work must be for sale at no more that £200.  It can be on sale for as low a price as you want, £200 is the top limit though. We want a gallery full of small pieces of exciting reasonably priced affordable exciting art.
