OPEN CALL
Hospital Shop Window Festival (HSWF) invites artists across all disciplines to submit work for their Festival which will be launched on Culture Night, Friday 19 September, 2014 and run until Friday September 26, 2014.
The Festival will take place on the main street of Hospital, Co. Limerick and will utilize dormant and functional shop premises as showcases for visual arts with the aim of bringing art and culture to the street, allowing free and unrestricted access for all.
Whilst the submission is open, the curators have an interest in the idea of ‘home’ in all its aspects. One exhibition space will also be reserved for work based on an environmental theme.
A Hospital Main Street Meet + Greet will be held on Saturday 19 July between 2 – 5pm. This is to allow artists to visit Hospital, to view premises and meet with local shop owners in order to develop their work if necessary.

Digital images of the work must first be emailed as jpegs to: [email protected] Image size must not exceed 1MB per jpeg with a maximum of 10 images.
Please include the following information for each image: Name of artist, title, date, medium and dimensions. Each jpeg image must be labelled in the following format: artist surname_artist forename_project title
Artist’s statements (maximum 250 words) and CV’s must also be submitted with the work. Work must not exceed 2ft square in size for two-dimensional work. For sculptural works, please consider that the work must fit into a standard shop window.
