SIGNAL ARTS CENTRE 'ART IN CONTEXT' NATIONAL CULTURE NIGHT

Signal Arts Centre are looking for artists to participate in an 'Art in Context' in Bray town as part of National Culture Night held on Friday 24th September 2010. Art in Context will also coincide with other Signal events including an artist led tour, a Festival of Light, artist talks and more.

Through Art in Context, Signal would like to highlight a broad range of visual arts practice in the region and encourage artists to avail of the heightened level of publicity connected to National Culture Night to raise the profile of their own work. We are interested in the participation of artists working in a range of mediums, from the material to the ephemeral.

We hope that these and other events organised by different organisations will bring a festival atmosphere to the town.

Brief:
It is preferable that the work be site specific or responds to the context in which it is placed. The exact locations of the work have yet to be finalised but it is thought that sites will include disused and operational business premises and also public spaces within Bray town centre.

We would encourage artists to engage in the selection of location for their work. Members of our organising team are in contact with the Bray Chamber of Commerce and Bray Council and will make themselves available to negotiate the proposed space and project with the relevant parties.

Please bear in mind that this is for ONE NIGHT ONLY so therefore the work should be capable of being put up in one day and taken down the following day.

Also there are no funds available for this so please consider your costs and feasibility of the proposal.

Initial proposals of ideas should be marked for the attention of Noel Cleary, Signal Art Centre, 1 Albert Avenue, Bray, Co. Wicklow.

The only limits are your imagination and ingenuity!
