Opportunities
Attention Sweet 'Arts! We might be on holiday, but we're planning our next adventure. We have a CALL FOR ARTISTS! We have an opportunity to come with us on September 9th to be part of the amazing The Art Car Boot Fair in London. We are seeking work from women artists on the theme of 'space' or 'taking up space'. The work needs to be smallish (A2 or under framed), in any media, 2D or 3D, and, very importantly, for sale. If you've got work that comes in multiples (prints, greeting cards, accessories etc) that is welcome too. We are going to try and keep pricing affordable, so also welcome options of under £100.
We will take commission of 35% on all sales at the fair but there is no fee to take part.
How do I get involved I hear you say.....well, you need to submit via email to info@wearesweetart.com- make the subject line Art Car Boot. Email us links to your website or Instagram along with a paragraph statement about your work/practice and 6 example images of the work you'd send us. With work title, size and medium in the file name of each image. As always make sure we can clearly see the work and that the photos are not too big files. Deadline for this is noon on 22 August. You'd need to get work to us by the Sunday 1 September in East London.
What are you waiting for Sweet 'Arts, get submitting!
Expressions of Interest
The Art Bypass Gallery is open for expressions of interest!
When we don’t have any programmed activities or events of our own, our space remains available for hire for exhibitions, happenings, arts and activism based meetings and workshops. We have equipment to support events too such as easels, tables, drawing boards, art materials, projectors and monitors. Get in touch if you need a cozy arty space to do your thing and it fits with the Sweet ‘Arts mission, ethos and values.
The Gallery is based in Dalston E8, a short walk from Dalston Junction/Kingsland stations as well as to arty hangouts like EartH, The Rio Cinema and The Holy Art Gallery as well as all the pubs and bars of Kingsland Road.
The Gallery is ground floor and the doors open straight onto the road. Some features we love are our bar area, perfect for hosting your opening event/private view; our jungle bathroom, and our cosy zine library area stocked with feminist art books and zines.
The process for expressing your interest is as follows:
1. Email us at info@wearesweetart.com and let us know you're interested, we'll send you back an Expression of Interest form.
2. Send the form back to us with as much information as you can provide to tell us all we need to know about your event.
3. We'll then get back in touch to let you know if it's something we are able to host, and if we have availability we'll arrange a follow up meeting to discuss the proposal in-depth and confirm all the terms and conditions.
Just as a heads-up, there will be a cost involved for anyone hiring the space. This will need to cover our Public Liability Insurance as well as gallery overheads.
