I See YOU is an open call for photographic work from people over the age of 18 who care for a child with additional needs or for someone who is sick, elderly or has disabilities. This can include both physical and mental ill health.

This project asks participating photographers/carers to turn their gaze inwards and to focus on their own perspective and their relationships with their own lives and identities, not on the needs of the person they are caring for.

This call is open to professional and nonprofessional artists/photographers. Selected images will be exhibited outdoors as part of the Fringe Arts Bath Festival 2023 which takes place 26th May to 11th June 2023.

Please send a maximum of 3 images with a short paragraph about you and the idea behind your work. (Files should be 72dpi and no bigger than 3MGB).

If your work is selected, you will be asked to supply images at 300dpi and at least 3,500 pixels on the shortest side. We are really looking forward to hearing different voices and opening a judge-free space for conversations and connections.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS is 14th April 2023

Fringe Arts Bath (FaB) Festival provides a platform for early-career and emerging Curators & Artists to test ideas beyond the gallery-based arts scene. There are 17 other exhibition call-outs forming the FaB Festival programme, coming to Bath, UK.

If selected, we ask artists for a £20 contribution (like crowdfunding) and/or to give some of their time, as we are all volunteers. NB: we’re aware many carers will not have spare money or time to contribute, we can talk through this if your work is selected.

Fringe Arts Bath Festival will take place 26 May to 11 June 2023.
