Callout for Work for Science Themed Exhibition, Nexus Art Cafe, Manchester

[Joanne Lee]

Well, here at Nexus, we’ve been feeling rather proud of the city we call home’s achievements – so, in conjunction with Manchester Science Festival this autumn, we have decided to celebrate the themes of invention, ingenuity and innovation in our next exhibition.

From the beauty of the blueprint to the enchanting rhythm of an ECG, the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics offer up a whole wealth of creative opportunity and inspiration.

We are seeking artwork and imagery from artists, scientists, and engineers that showcases innovative and interesting ideas in a beautiful way. Think inspiring infographics, magnificent maps, delightful diagrams and awesome anatomies – be it the stuff of hard scientific fact, or something a little more fantastical – we want the walls of Nexus to celebrate the creative side of these industries which so often gets overlooked.

If all this has sparked an idea or two, we’d love to hear from you. Please send an artist’s statement (no more than 500 words each), up to five images of the work you’d like to submit (max 1000 pixels square/72 dpi), and an artist’s CV to:[e-mail], with ‘It’ll Never Work’ as the subject title.

Submission Deadline is 5pm on Saturday 11th August.

We look forward to hearing from you!
