Call for Submissions: "Freedoms" multi-media exhibition, Northwest LGBT Pride.

Submissions are invited from artists on the theme of 'Freedoms' for the 2010 Northwest LGBT Pride exhibition, which will hang in the Leitrim Sculpture Centre, Manorhamilton during the Pride Festival 5th - 9th August 2010.

Submissions may illustrate artists' perceptions of freedom both personal and social and/or address issues of diversity, restriction and independant choices. Submission to 'Freedoms' is open to artists working in all kinds of media (though size restrictions may apply for freestanding pieces). We are also inviting digital submissions from international artists, particularly those in countries where sexual or other freedoms are restricted.

The exhibition will be curated by sculptor Jackie McKenna and visual artist Denise Clarke.

Please submit images of the work(s) either electronically to northwestpride@gmail.com (JPEG, TIF or PDF files) or on CD to Northwest LGBT Pride, PO Box 001, Community Connections CDP, Killycarney, Blacklion, Co. Cavan. Include title for each piece; artists name and contact details and a brief (50 word) biographical note. Sale prices should include 30% commission which will go to Northwest Pride
