OPEN WINDOWS – project Call for Artists living in Orkney

4 Apr 2013 in Visual Arts & Crafts

They’ve  taken a year off but Open Windows is back. 2013 is the year of Rae 200 events organized by Stromness Museum celebrating the life of Dr John Rae. They have decided to run the Open Windows exhibition around the time of this year’s Orkney International Science Festival which will also have a John Rae focus.

As previously the exhibition will be held in windows throughout Stromness. The windows are sited along the main street from the Pierhead to the Museum. Stromness Museum will hold a display about Open Windows exhibition in their foyer. Northlight Studio in Graham Place will once again act as the informal hub for the two weeks.

Last time artists did not work to any exhibition title, the 2013 exhibition will be different – the artists will interpret the John Rae inspired exhibition title– No Ordinary Journey. They hope this will offer artists a stimulating theme, with room enough for wide interpretation and giving the exhibition a connection between the artworks. Artists need not make work about John Rae necessarily, but they are asked to interpret the wider theme suggested by the title – No Ordinary Journey.

Open to visual arists living in Orkey. Contact openwindows@btinternet.com for details.
