About '6 by 4' artists' postcard exhibition

FUNDRAISING EXHIBITION & SALE OF ORIGINAL ANONYMOUS POSTCARD-SIZED ARTWORKS

ART SPACE PORTSMOUTH, 12th – 14th November 2010

We've set up this group to display some of the delectable postcard-sized treasures people are donating to '6 by 4', a secret postcard exhibition celebrating the 30th anniversary of studio group Art Space Portsmouth. Entries are pouring in so we’ll be adding to our collection on a regular basis – watch this space!

We're asking artists, designers, musicians, TV personalities - in fact anyone we can think of - to donate a diminutive original artwork in any medium to create an exhibition full of tasty 6 by 4 inch treats. The artists' identity will remain a secret until the point of purchase.

This is a great opportunity for emerging talent to be shown alongside established artists and media superstars, and for art lovers and collectors to purchase a hidden gem at the very reasonable flat rate of £20.

All proceeds will help support future Art Space projects and initiatives.

SUBMISSION DETAILS:
The brief is simple. All entries (up to a maximum of 3 per person) must be on card, 6 by 4 inches (15 x 10cm) and in any medium including drawing, painting, photography, limited edition prints and collage. Please send only original artworks, not mass produced postcards. There is no theme and challenging submissions are welcome. Please post to:

'6by4', Art Space Portsmouth Limited, 27 Brougham Road, Southsea, Hampshire PO5 4PA.

THE CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES IS 5TH NOVEMBER

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
1. Please make sure that anything stuck to your postcard is firmly attached.
2. We reserve the right not to display work that we deem to be inappropriate.
3. Please ensure your name is written clearly on the back & that the artwork is signed, dated and titled (on the reverse to maintain secrecy).
4. Please submit your contact details on a separate sheet of paper along with your postcard entry.
5. We regret that all works are non-returnable. All unsold cards will be retained by Art Space Portsmouth.
6. Due to the sheer volume of postcards expected, unfortunately we will not be able to acknowledge individual submissions. However, we will exhibit all works that fit the criteria.

Venue: GASP (Gallery Art Space Portsmouth), 27 Brougham Road, Southsea, Hampshire PO5 4PA.
12th - 14th November 2010 (Opening event Friday 6pm - 9pm / Saturday & Sunday 12pm - 5pm)
