Hunter's Moon Festival Art Trail seeks submissions
Selected artists’ work will be shown/ performed in various venues throughout the town, including vacant shops and The Dock Arts Centre, with a map of the art trail and a printed programme produced for festival-goers.
The Hunter's Moon is the name of the full moon which falls in October, so called as it was a time of night-hunting by the light of the moon. Darkness and light, the hunter and its prey, blood-shed and death or sustenance and life - these are just some of the themes associated with this time of year, coinciding with the pagan festival of Samhain.
They are looking for work in any discipline which reflects this theme. Applicants must be available to deliver and install their work during the week prior to the festival and to collect work on the Monday/Tuesday afterwards. Any work sold will be charged a commission of 15%. Artists will be in charge of the transport, installation and deinstallation of their work. There will be a ten Euro fee for artists who are accepted.
The festival runs from the 26th-28th October 2012.
Applicants must submit proposals by email to: huntersmoonart@gmail.com
Applications must be accompanied by a short artist’s statement, proposal of intended work/s with photographs where applicable, and examples of recent work – this can be image attachments c. 1MB in size or links to a website or blog and must be clearly labeled.
