The submissions will be judged by a steering group of three working artists who are helping curate the week’s work at St Andrews.
The exhibition will be open weekdays, and during the evenings they will be accompanied by a series of concerts hosted by the King’s Chamber Orchestra, including a Gala concert on the Saturday 16th. Musicians will perform around the exhibits and will be interpreting the submissions through improvisation, as well as featuring other events such as a piano duet soiree and folk music with Chorleywood Community Choir.
Submissions require no entry fee, however, if you would like to sell your work, we will take a 20% commission.
The Deadline for submissions is anytime before Sunday 12th May 2024
The follow up
Once we have received your submission, the steering group will look at all pieces after the deadline date and then follow up with you within the next two weeks. We will let you know what is next in terms of transportation, booking a time slot to set up & how to sell your work if you wish to do so.
All entries will eventually be displayed at kco.cool/trees-and-angels-festival
