Summer Exhibition 2016

About

Now in its third year, the month-long exhibition will take place from Saturday 30th July – Sunday 28th August at Castle Fine Art in The International Convention Centre.

The exhibition will feature work from 16 contemporary artists whose work was chosen to feature in the show following a nationwide call for innovative visual artists working in any field to submit their work to a panel of art reviewers.

The shortlisted submissions have now been brought together into one beautifully curated display of more than eighty individual artworks where work by established names sits alongside those by emerging and aspiring artists in a range of mediums, genres and subject matter.

From local photographer Tom Bird’s images highlighting the beauty of industry, to New Yorker David Welker’s new surrealism and Korean artist Kim Byungkwan’s abstract portraiture, the shortlisted artists hail from all four corners of the globe and cover the entire artistic spectrum.

The works are available to view for a month, with an opportunity to meet the artists at the open day on Saturday 20th August, 12noon – 6pm.

All visitors will be able to have their say by voting for their favourite artist on show in the People’s Choice Award, which is back by popular demand both in the gallery and online following an overwhelming response last year. What’s more, if an artist impresses, they could be in with a chance of securing a publishing contract with Washington Green following the exhibition.
