Penlee House Gallery & Museum is asking for contributions to it’s 2014
‘Penlee Inspired’ exhibition and YOU could be part of it.
Following on from the success of the two previous ‘Penlee Inspired’
exhibitions, Penlee House Gallery & Museum will be hosting an exhibition
of works by members of the public inspired by the collections and
exhibitions of Penlee House. All ages and abilities will be represented, from
complete beginners to established artists, and their work will be hung
alongside works from Penlee’s collection and those loaned from other
galleries and museums.
Contributions are invited from individuals, groups, schools and colleges,
and can be in any medium—including paint, collage, textile, sculpture,
photography, film and animation. Creative writing is also welcome.
Submitted work can be representational or abstract, the only thing we ask
is that the collections or exhibitions at Penlee House are the inspiration
behind all contributions.
Penlee House is most famous for its paintings by the Newlyn School artists,
but the collections extend beyond that to archaeology, social history,
textiles and photography, giving plenty of scope for some exciting and
original artwork. In addition, during the year, Penlee exhibits many works
from museums and galleries throughout Britain.
This pack contains details of the selection criteria, and information and
application forms for individuals/groups and schools/colleges.
