Artists Callout / Player Nation 2018

Artists Callout / Player Nation 2018

On the 24th of March, The Arcade Vaults will once again be taking over The Gate Arts Centre for the day long gaming event Player Nation. To coincide with this, The Gate will also be running a month-long exhibition for the entirety of March of gaming related artwork. As such, we are seeking submissions within this context from artists at any stage of their career.

We’re particularly keen to have a wide range and variety of work on display, so all we ask is that your work is related to video gaming in some way. The Arcade Vaults and The Gate are particularly interested in concepts, graphics and in-game art from developers; fan art from gamers; and responses to games and gaming from artists and other creatives. We’ll accept work made using either digital or traditional media, however we can only accept submissions of two-dimensional work. Anyone looking for inspiration is welcome to come attend one of The Arcade Vaults’ events at Tiny Rebel or the Walkabout in Cardiff City Centre.

You are invited to submit up to 10 items of your work for consideration; submissions will cost £5 each, and must be received no later than February 23rd. Whilst we want to show as much work as possible, there are space limitations, so this may not be possible, and as such The Arcade Vaults or The Gate reserves the right to reject submissions.

Prints must be mounted or framed, with all framed work mirror plated else the work must be able to be pinned to a wall. All work must be available for display from March 1st until 31st, and artists are responsible for delivery of their work to and from the venue. All artwork MUST be collected by 2nd April.

Artists are invited to list their work for sale; all sales will be subject to a commission fee of 30%. Note that The Gate cannot take any responsibility for any damaged art.
