CCA Galleries International are once again inviting visual artists to apply to take part in the Jersey Summer Exhibition. The exhibition is based on the successful model at the Royal Academy every summer – exhibits are selected by a panel of professional artists and critics and shown in a group selling exhibition. As well as exhibiting at a prestigious, international gallery, being selected for CCAI Summer Exhibition is expected to help launch the careers of promising Jersey artists, as well as enforcing that of those already established. All work is for sale and will be hung, lit and curated by CCA Galleries Int.
CCA Galleries Int has been hosting the Skipton Open Studios taster exhibition for a few years and the Jersey Summer Exhibition developed through a growing appetite for high quality, curated visual art in Jersey. The exhibition launched last summer, with over 120 artists applying to take part. Of the 77 artists whose work was selected, over a third of the exhibited work was sold, to collectors from Ireland, Scotland and the UK as well as to delighted locals.
The application deadline is Tuesday 13 March. All work should be submitted digitally in the first instance, together with an application form, fee (£15 per art work submitted) and further details. All information, application, terms and conditions will be detailed on this website in the next few days.
If an artist’s work is selected, they will be asked to submit actual work for the final judging process on 20 April. If work is chosen to join the Summer Exhibition, it will be exhibited and for sale in the gallery from 21 June – 27 July.
All visual art forms are welcome, including original prints, paintings, drawings, architecture, sculpture, film and photography. For student categories (years 11, 12 and 13), please contact Jersey Youth Arts at The Arts Society Jersey. If your work is selected for the exhibition, CCA Galleries International offer advice on framing and pricing as needed.
Gallery Director, Sasha Gibb says ‘ 10 Hill Street is a fantastic gallery for contemporary art and I’m looking forward to discovering more home grown talent to fill it. After such a very successful launch last year, we’re delighted to be working with local artists once again and to be taking their work to a new audience. We are grateful for the unwavering support of our partners and sponsors TEAM Asset Management’.
