Have you visited the new art gallery in Felixstowe, ‘142 Hamilton Road’?

Recently I joined the ‘142 Hamilton Road’ team as a volunteer and am so proud to announce our ‘Open Call’ for artists!

Whilst brainstorming ideas we thought it would be fantastic for the gallery and community, to have an exhibition showcasing the work of local artists. We decided to theme the exhibition too; ‘BLUE’, which is open to interpretation how you see fit.

For more information please read the T&C’s below. Note: We do not have any wall space reserved for artists, it’s a first come first served basis… So, if you wish to exhibit, be there on 17th August to submit your work avoiding disappointment. Once we’re full of submissions, we will no longer be accepting applications and this will be announced via our social media channels (facebook/ instagram) and our shop window.

REMEMBER… This is a competition and you could win 1 week of gallery space at ‘142 Hamilton Road’ for FREE! All artworks in the exhibition are automatically entered into the competition and open to the public vote for ‘best artwork’ in the gallery.

Good luck and we look forward to seeing the work you submit!!
