Space2 Gallery - call out for artists

Space2 Gallery, Watford Museum 2014

Space2 Gallery is located on the 1st Floor of Watford Museum, 194 Lower High Street, WD17 2DT
Watford Museum is housed in the former offices of Benskins Brewery, the Museum has displays of local history and industry.
In 2006 part of Watford Museum was transformed with the help of the Friends of Watford Museum in to a light, modern art gallery.
Space 2 Gallery aims to
• Provide a platform for new and innovative visual art, showcasing local and national artists, providing a platform to launch or further their career
• Raise the profile of Watford as a town that is supportive of the visual arts
• Provide artists with exhibition opportunities in a supportive and flexible environment
• To encourage existing and new audiences to develop their engagement with the arts
The exhibition space has approximately 25 metres hanging space. The space is also suitable for 3D artwork as there is a large amount of floor space for plinths etc. (these would have to be provided by the exhibiting artist)
The museum has 4 dedicated staff who are on hand to assist where possible with the Space2 gallery. Watford Council does not currently have a full time Arts Development Officer so the submission process is being conducted by a freelance art curator.
Watford Museum and Space2 Gallery is open Thursday – Saturday 10am – 5pm

We are looking for 5 artists/groups to exhibit in 2014

Submission closes 12.00 noon Friday 8th November – email completed applications to space2gallery@gmail.com

Shortlisting and Judging will take place later that week with applicants being informed the following week.

Decisions will be made by a selection panel of arts professionals- decisions made by the panel will be final and no discussions will be entered into.

Watford Museum aim to be as flexible as possible to artists wishing to exhibit in Space2 Gallery.
