We welcome submissions that imbue the changing of light to dark, ancient magic, the fragility of life, root and bone and all things gritty and mystical.
Artwork in all mediums accepted: painting, drawing, photography, textiles, original prints and even some sclulptures as long as the work is hangable and original.
(Mass-produced digital or giclee prints will be refused entry.)
This exhibition will lead into our very popular Festival of the Dead event and will also be part of the Streatham Festival Art Trail
