What even is this, anyway?
The Winchester Art Projcect has been a dream of mine for years.
I graduated from UEA with a 2:1 in Art History, and a pretty decent portfolio of my own work. It was IMPOSSIBLE to find art jobs as a new graduate! It was incredibly disheartening and made me turn to a life of (shudder) corporate.
That was 4 years ago, and now I've got a good bit of money saved up. I can finally achieve my dream of creating the opportunity I wish I had 4 years ago. New graduates (or new-ish) from any UK university, this is an
OPEN CALLOUT FOR ARTISTS!
requirements:
Must have graduated in the last 3 years.
Must have a portfolio of at least 5 pieces.
Must be based near (or near enough) to winchester, or grew up there.
The project will be a 'zine full of different winchester artists. It can relate to Winchester, or it can not! Any pieces in any style will be completely welcome. So, whip out an oil painting or draw a comic on a napkin, art is art! I'm looking for 7 artists.
I'm happy to say I can pay artists a LIVING WAGE hourly based on how long their piece took +£50 +10% of all proceeds. That means if you take 9 hours to produce a two-panel comic, you'll be paid £158, and get 10% of the proceeds!
I have no budget to promote this post! PLEASE if you are a recent graduate, a new artist, an old artist, friends with artists REBLOG this post!
