The Project:
Hosted by London Miles Gallery this community installation is to help build a platform for emerging contemporary artist living in London. The project aims to bring together emerging artists in a project that builds awareness about our community, contemporary art and the importance of recycling in our generation.
The installation will be built and constructed by more than 1000 boxes, all hand painted by artists. The project is open to any artist or inspiring artist from the new generation of contemporary art. This is a great opportunity for your artwork to be seen by gallery curators, directors, art press and buyers.
The installation will be built inside the atrium area of Westbourne Studios. There will be an opening reception to celebrate the completed structure alongside an exhibition featuring the work of 45 recognized international artists. The opening reception will take place at Westbourne Studios ( 242 Acklam Road, London, W10 5JJ) on Friday June 11rd, 2010 from 7pm to 11pm and is open free to the public.
