Call for 3D artists: Saltaire Festival Sculpture Trail

Saltaire Open Gardens Trail
An opportunity to showcase sculpture, ceramics and glass for sale or commission within a popular Open Gardens Trail as part of the annual Saltaire Festival.

Saltaire Open Gardens Trail takes place over the first weekend of the two-week annual Saltaire Festival. Local residents open the back yards and gardens of their Grade II listed cottages to share with visitors the wide variety of planting and creativity within the limited outside spaces in the UNESCO World Heritage village. We are looking for artists working in any 3D medium suitable for external display to apply to show work in one of around twelve small garden spaces.

The two-day event is a a major element of the Festival Opening Weekend and coincides with the popular Makers Fair at Victoria Hall, run by Saltaire Inspired, who also produce the Saltaire Art Trail in May.

Because of the nature of the architecture in the village, most spaces are small - many no more than enclosed back-yards, so the event is suitable for sculptural ceramics and glass as well as sculpture.

Work may be for sale, but the event works best if seen primarily as a showcase for follow up interest or commissions, as the footfall for the event is very good.

There is a small fee to artists of £20 to contribute to publicity and administration costs for this volunteer-run event, but no commission is taken on sales.

Please apply using the Curatorspace Submission Form, uploading up to 10 images.
