Comics Open

Incase you missed it, this comment was recently added to a previous post. Interesting stuff but, sadly, I can't even afford the admin fee at the moment:

2008 open opportunities for artists at the
Riverside Gallery, Richmond

Liveline: Comics Open (1 March - 13 April 2008)

Through its annual open exhibition opportunities, Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham helps artists both locally and nationally to showcase their work in group exhibitions. In 2006-7, over 500 individual artists (excluding those participating in Arthouse) exhibited work in a range of open exhibitions across three galleries - Orleans and Stables Galleries, Twickenham and the Riverside Gallery in Richmond. Since 2005, there have been 4 exhibitions dedicated to or incorporating comic art. Deadline end of January 2008.

In 2008, we have further opportunities for you to submit artwork for the second of our comic open exhibitions. We are seeking original artwork (digitally created work is accepted) and printed comics by up-and-coming and established artists who are self-published or work for small-scale or independent publishers.

· Artists can submit up to 5 original works (and 5 comics) either via A4 sized photographic prints, colour printouts or high-resolution jpegs submitted on CD. Original artwork is not accepted. Comics can be submitted.

· Please clearly label each submission with: artist’s name, title of work, publication, date, media, approximate size and price before commission if the work is for sale (the gallery will add on an additional 40% commission to the artist’s price).

· In addition, please enclose contact details, an artists statement and if possible a CV.

· There is a £10.00 administration charge (which also contributes towards exhibition costs); £7.50 concessions (please include proof). Please make cheques payable to ‘L.B.R.U.T’. Your submission will not be accepted without payment.

· If you would like images or comics returned, please enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope.

Successful artists will be contacted by email or in writing approximately two weeks after the deadline.


Any queries, please email Mark De Novellis at m.denovellis@richmond.gov.uk

the nope

Been to tizer soze recently? Well, I did tell you to go there. There's a new magazine starting up which is looking for submissions, (details below and blog here):


New monthly publication ‘The Nope’ looking for submissions.

Wanted:

Comics

Artwork

Photos

Poems

Short Stories

Journalistic pieces

‘How to’ guides

About Nope:

The Nope is a low budget, low profit North East UK based publication, but we welcome contributions from anywhere. The tone is offbeat and humorous, but feel free to submit serious and academic material. The magazine is all about sharing your work with like minded folk, celebrating creativity and having fun. All contributors retain the copyright to their own work, and although at present we are unable to pay for submissions, all involved will receive a free copy of the finished magazine (We hope to be able to pay for submissions eventually). If there are sufficient submissions to warrant creating the first issue, a website will follow. Oh, and the magazine will be very cheap and available from anywhere that will agree to sell it.

Terms:

For now, The Nope is a low budget affair, staples and photocopies, so please only submit black and white entries, or entries that will translate well into black and white printing..

The magazine will be A5 size, short and sweet. Poetry, Prose and articles should run to no more than 1000 words (although exceptions may be made).

Comics should ideally be under four pages long.

The Nope won’t run unsolicited multi-part stories, so please only submit complete entries.

We can only accept work that has been unpublished, unless it was self published.

Although we will judge each entry by its merits, here are a few things we will be unlikely to consider (but do try us anyway!):

Highly personal and downbeat poetry

Explicitly sexual material or Erotica

anime/manga themed artwork

And we certainly won’t print anything indefensibly racist, sexist or homophobic

How to submit:

Please submit all contributions by email (please send scans of artwork), Do not send attachments of text, please copy it into the body of the email. Please also include a brief biography of yourself (age, sex, location etc). Do feel free to email only a URL if your work is already hosted online. Submissions and queries to:

thenopemagazine@googlemail.com
