Arts 2018

ARTS is a longstanding collaboration between the Arts Council of Surrey and Surrey Art Gallery. This annual juried exhibition allows artists of all ages and backgrounds to share their creative labours with the world at large in a professionally hung show. Both first-time entrants and established artists receive an opportunity for public exposure and award commendation from a panel of professional jurors.

This year’s exhibition features an especially diverse selection showcasing the breadth of local creative production. In addition to many traditional paintings and sculptures, visitors will encounter everything from mixed media collages and textiles to urban photography and even video.

Each year, the jury is charged with nominating artworks to receive first, second, third, and honourable mention awards in the categories of Painting: Works on Canvas; Painting: Works on Paper; Drawing, 2-D Mixed Media & Printmaking; 3-D Works & Fibre Arts; and Photography & New Media. Works are selected for their technical skill, the demonstration of innovative artistic thinking, and the extent to which they address the theme. Visitors are also invited to vote for the People’s Choice Award, which will be announced at the end of the exhibition.
