Open Calls - the Artist View [256]

Written By louise fletcher

Are submitting to open calls part of your practice? Maybe you find the rejection hard to handle? Or you're fed up of losing submission fees...

This week's show was prompted by a rather shocking and sad recent scenario involving the Livingstone gallery. If you got caught up in it, you're not alone. But it prompted a discussion about whether we should be more wary about open calls, or if they can be a beneficial element in building your career.

Alice is joined by Abigail Bowen and Jessie Woodward to discuss an artists view ... from getting organised to practising bravery and stepping outside your comfort zone.

We hope that later in the summer we'll hear the view from some gallery owners who organise open calls and why they organise them.
