Rising Stars 2013 at the New Ashgate Gallery fosters and champions students and recent graduates of BA and MA Fine and Applied Arts programmes across the UK.
The exhibition will take place from 22 March – 4 May and is supported by the Billmier Charitable Trust. Submissions for the Rising Stars exhibition are invited from undergraduates, postgraduates, recent graduates (who completed study within the past 18 months) and artists with a significant career break, relaunching their career.
The Rising Stars exhibition aims to enable new artists and makers to access the market place and customers during these challenging economic times. The programme includes a national symposium with top speakers and small group practical workshops for skills development. There will also be a Rising Stars catalogue and an educational film that may be used as promotional tools and to find other opportunities after the Rising Stars project.
Apply by email, sending your CV (max. 2 pages), statement (two paragraphs about you and your practice, max. 300 words) and 3-4 images of works (JPEG, max. 1MB in size, include titles in file names) to outi.remes@newashgate.org.uk with Rising Starts 2013 in the subject field.
The deadline is Sunday 20 January 2013.
