Mercer Art Gallery calls for artists in online exhibition
Friends of Mercer Art Gallery is calling for artists and creatives to get involved in its online exhibitions focusing on climate change.
This year's React 2 exhibition is titled 'Our Planet, Our Home' and encourages artists to use any medium and have fun.
Last year's exhibition was centred around coronavirus and had more than 100 applications. The organisers are determined to have another successful exhibition.
The exhibition will go live in October and artwork can be submitted under these categories: our natural world, climate change and creations using recycled materials.
There is no fee for submission, but the charity asks that the artist makes a donation to support its outreach work supporting art locally.
Last year, creative people aged up to 70 took part in the exhibition.
Catherine Wright, deputy chair of the Friends of the Mercer Project, said:
There are additional categories for any budding artists under 16. More information on how to enter can be found here.
The submission deadline is September 17 at 5pm.
