Westival 2019 takes inspiration from, and pays homage to the theme ‘BRITTLE / FRAGILE’. The festival’s heart, its flagship visual-arts exhibition, will reflect this theme by inviting artist submissions working in one or more of the following media: drawing, printing, installation, painting, performance, photography, digital art, sculpture, sound art, video, mixed media, decorative art (textiles and material, glass, wood, metal, ceramics, mosaic, paper or other techniques).

This year’s Westival calls on artists to contemplate how art can bring our awareness to the brittle and fragile nature of existence. Artists present the world in new ways, and it is the artist’s role to show us aspects of existence which we may not have noticed. Westival invites visual artists, of all kinds, to shed light on the inherent vulnerability of being which is at once beautiful and breakable. The theme is wide open to a myriad of interpretations, and fertile ground for creativity.

The application deadline is August 16th 2019. The cost of entry is €15 for up to three pieces to be considered. If you have a full show for consideration please note this in your application.
