Open Calls - the Gallery View [259]
This week Alice is joined by two UK gallery owners to discuss Open Call exhibitions - from the inside! When artists can sometimes feel submissions are a waste of time, two gallerists share why they choose to use this as part of their offer for artists, and the relationships which build from it.
They let us in on some of the behind the scenes set-up, and what it really takes to organise and run an open call, and what an ideal submission looks like.
We also push them on the tricky topic of costs and pricing - is this just a money-making scheme or after listening do you consider this a good investment. Let us know!
