South African visual artists are invited to submit their solo exhibition proposal to be considered for placement on the calendar of the Oliewenhuis Art Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists who meet the criteria for a solo exhibition will be shortlisted for placement on the 24-month exhibition calendar at one of the suitable gallery venues found at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists should familiarise themselves with the various gallery options available. Outdoor exhibitions can also be accommodated, within reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibitions normally run from about four to ten weeks, depending on the exhibition calendar. Artists are to make themselves available for the exhibition opening and usually a walkabout held in the same week. Correspondence will be entered into with successful artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closing date for proposals is 22 October at 17:00. Late proposals will not be considered and be disqualified immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No physical artworks are to be sent to the museum as part of the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once an application has passed pre-screening, which ensures that both an application form signed by the artist and a copy of a South African identity document (ID) have been submitted, the applicant will be scored against a fixed set of criteria. This includes, among others, the experience of the artist; awards and recognitions previously received for visual arts; the proposal itself, including the relevance of its message and significance in the South African context; and the technical quality of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application form can be accessed at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
