Surface Gallery in Nottingham is actively seeking proposals for its annual Open Show which will run from 20th July untill 7th August. This completely inclusive event welcomes artists of all backgrounds and disciplines to enter work from any medium. The gallery’s goal is to, ‘initiate and cultivate a multitude of inter-disciplinary murmurings: painters, sculptors, film makers, performers, designers, photographers, writers, poets, architects, geographers, actors, dancers, builders, theorists, gardeners, engineers, musicians, politicians, storytellers, activists, economists and more’.

Successful applicants’ work will be displayed in the spacious city centre gallery and the winning artist will be invited back for a two week curated solo show in 2011.

The exhibition programme aims to support emerging artists by offering them a high quality space in which to exhibit work. The gallery is keen to encourage artists to be ambitious in their practice and use the space to try out new ideas. If you have an idea for a show download a form .

Deadline for applications: 1st July 2010.
