Local artists and artisans in Reading and surrounding area are invited to submit up to two original works of art for the annual community art exhibition and week long festival.

Submitting work into Reading Arts Week is open to anyone over the age of 16 living or working in the greater Reading area. You needn't be a professional established artist, may be you enjoy painting or taking photographs or are currently on a part-time creative course and would like to enter your work into the exhibition.

You can submit paintings, sculpture, photography, textiles, ceramics, furniture, glass, mosaics, jewellery and digital art including video.

To submit your work simply click here to complete the online submission form.

You can submit a maximum of two works, for a supporting fee of £15.00. There is no charge for those who are currently studying on a full or part time course in the Reading area. Deadline for submissions is on Thursday 31 May 2012.

Reading Arts Week is a week-long event taking place from Saturday 23 to Friday 29 June 2012 showcasing emerging and established artists from across Reading. The week launches with a two day public art exhibition at the Penta Reading Hotel. Other events and pop-up exhibitions will be taking place throughout the week at various locations including Market Place and Caversham Court Gardens.

This year we are looking for a number of Volunteers to help organise this year's exhibitions and events. If you would like to find out more information please click on the link below.
