PROJECT PROPOSALS
We accept four types of proposals for our 2024 Summer Programming: ready-to-hang work, site-specific installations, temporary installations/performances, and publication-specific works. Your application can include multiple proposals.
For all proposals, include:
A formal description of the work you would like to show.
A three-sentence conceptual description of the work you would like to show or your artistic practice more generally.
A note about any special circumstances you anticipate around the installation of your work. We have limited equipment available, so we need to know in advance if you require anything specific.
For ready-to-hang work proposals:
Please outline any special circumstances you anticipate around the installation of your work. We have limited equipment available, so we need to know in advance if you require anything specific.
For site-specific installation proposals:
Please include completed past works, drawings and/or style references, and explain how the piece will look or function.
Artists interested in creating a site-specific installation for the 2023 Summer Exhibition are also eligible for an Exhibitions Fellowship to help realize their work. Up to five fellows will be offered a no-fee residency in April or May, and will be considered full participants in our residency program.
No separate application is needed for the Exhibitions Fellowship, and acceptance of the fellowship — should it be offered — is entirely optional. Artists interested in making site-specific work for the exhibition should still apply regardless of whether or not they are interested in or able to be in residence in April or May.
For temporary installations or performances for the Summer Festival Program:
Please explain how the piece will look or function.
For publication-specific works:
Please explain how your work will activate the printed publication. This can range from essays, prose, or poetry to more experimental print projects. For example, our 2020 Summer Exhibition book featured essays and poetry from our artists alongside a flipbook of animation frames in the top right corner of each page and an inserted pop-up piece.

Fragments and extrapolations of contexts, settings, characters, details etc. which highlight the aesthetic value of a narration or place emphasis on the salient features of a story.
The position of the spectator in viewing the cinematographic product is always determined by the photographic/filmic eye that captures, and the exhibition will therefore highlight the role of the photographer with his technical and aesthetic choices in determining the involvement of the user in the construction of a story.

The New Artist Fair is open to all artists who have been creating art for up to 10 years or any artist who has not yet established themselves in the art world and is looking to do so. If you are a New Artist and would like your work to be seen by 1000s of people, then we provide the platform to do so, our exhibitions take place in premium Central London locations.
We have a £10,000 marketing and promotions budget which brings in 1000s of art lovers, first time buyers, art collectors and investors. See our Blogs page for last year's statistics to help your decision making process.
Our experienced marketing team promotes our events in numerous London outlets and specialised publications. Once artists have secured their space for the fair, we continuously promote their work on numerous online outlets and on our ever-growing social media platforms where we currently have a combined total of over 30,000 Friends and Followers (via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).
