Art Number 23, is a London-based Gallery, located at the Old Biscuit Factory. We are mainly responsible for curating art exhibitions inside the U.K. and overseas. The aim is to create opportunities in order to encourage and support artists from all over the world to exhibit and promote their work.

Art Number 23 in collaboration with Ovalo Gallery are presenting a project of two exhibitions that will take place in Mexico City and in London. We are currently accepting your submissions for the first exhibition that will be hosted at Ovalo Gallery in Mexico!

The theme of the exhibition is open.

Artists from all countries and of all mediums and styles are welcome to apply; including painters, sculptors, video artists, textile artists, performers and more.

Private View: Friday 9th August 2019

Open days/times: 5th August - 20th August

Deadline: 30th June 2019

Please note that we are looking for small and light artworks that are easy to be transported - maximum A2 size. The artists will just need to deliver their artworks in our gallery, in London, and we will be responsible for taking all the artworks from London to Mexico and back. Small artworks on canvas, drawings, prints and artworks on foam board will be preferred.

We are responsible for covering every aspect of the exhibition. The only thing that the artists need to do, is to deliver/post their work to us, and enjoy the exhibition we have prepared for them. Our services include:

• Catalogues (hard copies) - the catalogues include a short bio/artist statement, image of the artists' works, their email address and their website. Artists who live abroad, outside London or who are unable to attend, will receive a copy of the catalogue via post.
• e-Catalogues - a digital version of the catalogue with hyperlinks to each artist's website. Those catalogues are easy to share, and they will be there for you to order one, in case you loose your original copy of the catalogue. See our e-Catalogues here.
• Installation of the work in the venue
• Storage of the artworks for up to one week after the end of the show. We can also post your work back to you (the artists are responsible for the postage expenses).
• Promotion of the exhibition and the participants through our mailing list (more than 2000 subscribers) and on social media.
• Documentation of the artists' work in the venue.

Costs:

Everyone can apply for free to participate in our shows and we do not take any commission from the sales! This is why an affordable fee will be applied only to selected artists, which will go towards the expenses of each show:

• Maintenance of the gallery space and our equipment
• Drinks for the opening event
• Posters and catalogues design
• Printing costs (posters/catalogues/labels)
• Invigilators 
• Postage expenses (for shows outside London)

​

The cost for the exhibition in Mexico will be £110 which will go towards the needs of the exhibition. There will be no additional charges for the artists.

We look forward to your correspondence!
