Call for Entries – Figurative Art Now

The Federation of British Artists (FBA) is the major visual arts charity which exhibits nine of the UK’s leading art societies at the Mall Galleries, London. The FBA has been championing figurative art since it was established in 1961. To celebrate its milestone 60th anniversary, it will be launching a brand-new online opportunity and selling exhibition: Figurative Art Now.

As society re-emerges into the light after the pandemic, Figurative Art Now will give artists the chance to showcase their work and give the public an opportunity to view and buy new pieces in a wide range of mediums. This innovative exhibition will be selected by some of the art world’s leading voices, held 100% online, and offer a range of prizes including cash awards, mentoring and exhibition opportunities. The FBA is asking you to be part of its future… and to be in the good company of previous exhibitors including Stanley Spencer, L.S. Lowry, Walter Sickert, etc.

Submission deadline is Tuesday 1st June 5pm. Full details and submission info can be found here

Ella Carty in Telephone

NSA Member Ella Carty is taking part in an online project created during the last year of the pandemic.  The project, called Telephone, involves different artists in a variety of disciplines making connections. Ella explains:

Telephone  has been a way of making connections artistically during a gruelling year of isolation and disconnection.

‘TELEPHONE is just like the kids’ game. A message is whispered from one person to another and changes as it is passed.

We whisper a message from art form to art form.

A message could become a painting, then music, then poetry, then dance.

We whisper each finished work of art to multiple artists so the game branches out exponentially.’

You can find out more about this interesting project on the Telephone website and Ella’s response to it on her own website.
