Calling All Artists

The New Samhlaiocht Gallery has issued a call for entries from Artists interested in exhibiting in a group show which is slated to open on Thursday, September 6th as part of Samhlaiocht's 2007 Gallery programme.

"As part of Samhlaiocht's ongoing collaboration with Kerry Artists we're inviting artists to submit work for an open submission group show," said Trish Thompson, Samhlaiocht's Visual Arts Co-ordinator. "There is such a wealth of artistic talent throughout Kerry that group shows often offer the most equitable means of bringing young up and coming talent to the people of the area."

The submission is open for a group or joint exhibitions. Applications by an individual or group for an exhibition should be submitted in writing by Thursday, May 31st.

The Application should contain:
1. Short Biography and resume of the Artist's work to include a current C.V. Statement of work (the concept behind the work, no more than 400 words)
2. Visuals of the actual work or proposed work with all titles, medium and dimensions clearly labeled. Visuals can be hard copy or jpeg format on CD with a cover letter detailing the proposed exhibition. High quality slides or photographs will also suffice.
All applications will be submitted to an exhibition selection panel

The Samhlaiocht Gallery opened in July 1999 in Maine Street, Tralee. The philosophy behind the Gallery mirrors the overall philosophy of Samhlaiocht, which is to help promote and establish up-and coming Kerry Artists, provide an outlet for more established artists and facilitating community groups working in any artistic medium.

Samhlaiocht is based in new premises at the Old Presbytery, Lower Castle Street in the heart of Tralee.

Please address your applications to:
Trish Thompson, Gallery Coordinator, Samhlaiocht, The Old Presbytery, Lower Castle St. Tralee or email trish@samhlaiocht.com or phone 066 7129934
