Print Perform Present - Call for Artists

Artist applications are now open for the first Print Perform Present here at The Tetley!

Print Perform Present is a new major event run by The Tetley showcasing a range of independent artists, performers, artist-led studios and publishers in Leeds and the North. Explore print and performance, from self-published zines and screen prints to workshops and live performances  around The Tetley as we celebrate and support artists.  Discover, purchase and learn about intersections of making, from art publishing to presentation and performance. 

100% of all sales go directly to the artists.
This event is generously supported by Leeds Inspired.

We are looking for artists working with print in diverse forms including zines, exhibition catalogues, prints, and publications. In addition to presenting a table with your work, we invite you to share and showcase your practice as part of a five minute spotlight talk, explanation or reading. 

We welcome applications from artist-led collectives, studio groups, and independent artists – including BAME, minority ethnic and LGTBQ artists. No participation fee for this first year with generous support from Leeds Inspired.

NEW Deadline for applications:  9 am Thursday 30 January 2020
Details on how to apply and further information can be downloaded here.

Exhibitions

Our exhibitions are programmed in house and are scheduled at least one year in advance. We focus primarily on solo exhibitions of artists based in Britain and internationally, or work with guest curators on group shows and often show  displays from collections and archives revealing hidden histories alongside contemporary work. The selection of artists is undertaken by the programme team, led by the Artistic Director.The Tetley often works in partnership with other organisations in Britain and abroad, with current collaborations with Karachi Biennale, Pakistan, Colombo Art Biennale, Sri Lanka and Liverpool Biennial through the New North and South partnership. As exhibitions arise from direct invitations and through partnerships, we do not accept unsolicited proposals for exhibitions and do not hire out spaces for exhibitions.
