    Open Call: A slash of Blue-

    Gerald Moore Gallery is pleased to invite submissions to this year’s open call  A slash of Blue-  

    This title is taken from the first line of a poem by Emily Dickinson:

     

    A slash of Blue –
    A sweep of Gray –
    Some scarlet patches on the way,
    Compose an Evening Sky –
    A little purple – slipped between –
    Some Ruby Trousers hurried on …

     

    This Open call is focused on painting, and is for pre-existing works from artists based in London and the South East to be exhibited in March 2023

     

    Exhibition dates: 2nd - 25th March 2023

    We had over 300 entries to our Open Call for the Environmental Crisis Exhibition and have chosen over 60 works from all over the world!

     

    Young People aged 14-18 who have chosen Science, Art and Geography for GCSE and A-Level judged the entries across two days. We felt it important to have young voices represented by having them help in deciding who to exhibit, as this issue has been youth led and impacts their future the most.

     

    We are now looking forward to next month when the exhibition opens on 13th February with a drinks reception 4pm-8pm. Please join us.

     

    As a gallery with learning at its core we are proud to hold this exhibition on such an important topic and would like to give space to raising awareness and understanding the environmental crisis.
