We are i o u a e, an artist led organisation based in Newcastle. We are looking for artists to show work in ‘is this real lyf’ our first IRL show, June 21st-July 2nd 2017.

*****UPDATE*****

Due to the extremely high percentage of submissions that are film/video based we recommend the submissions of physical work (painting/sculpture/performance) will be more likely to be accepted at this stage and request more submissions of this type.

A collateral screening is being negotiated in Penzance (Cornwall) due to demand, with another arts organisation, with the possibility of exhibiting a selection of film work only. Please be aware film submissions will also be considered for this collateral event, if you are happy to be included.
