We’re thrilled to announce that the Call for Submissions for our next Online International Member Exhibition goes live on 4th August!

The theme? “Bizarre and Surreal” — and we’re inviting glass artists from around the globe to interpret it in their own individual way.

That’s bizarre!” “How surreal!” -when we make these statements do we really know what they mean?
To be bizarre can also be described as odd, strange, unusual, grotesque, or weird.
In contrast surreal, in relation to an artwork could mean that the elements in it are combined in a
way that you would not normally expect like having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream.
This immediately conjures up images by Salvador Dali and the Surrealists.
How are you bizarre and surreal?

Dates:

— Submissions open: 4th August

— Deadline: 22nd August

— Exhibition goes live: 6th October
