Displaying Artwork

[shineism]

This is a bit of a long shot but im trying to find ways of having my artwork displayed at Glastonbury this year, just wondering if anyone knows of any collectives I could contact ? .. or even websites to look at with more info on getting decor gigs.

... any help would be great !

Thanks for reading

You could try having your art work printed onto stickers and stick your artwork at random places around the festival, with your website in the small print?

Im mainly looking to find ways of doing decor in one of the areas, painting on site rather than just promoting myself

Just bring your paint along with you and go for it... I'd like to think/hope that a bit of the free spirit vibe is still permissable.

may find a cafe in the green fields that would let you do your stuff

Really like your stuff, hope you manage to get some of it displayed at the festival.

This might sound really obvious but have you tried contacting the festival office? I'm guessing they'd be able to give you the best advice. Hope it works - I'd love to see some of your work around the place.

Or try and get hold of the circus field organisers, they usually have art about or perhaps you could help decorate sets etc.

Also what about bin painting? There is always an army of volunteers and you'd get your work out there...?

If I remember correctly there was a few graffiti walls around last year too. One by the skate ramp in the greenpeace field and one on the walk from the circus fields to the avalon..(I think..?) so even if you dont get to show your work definitely bring your paints.

Its probably worth talking to some local collectives who have painted there before, they might have tips and contacts. I'm pretty sure I saw Inkys work there and some familiar bristol artists.

Edit: your work is really lovely too. Not sure where you are based but Here gallery in bristol would probably snap up your work, it really reminds me of other stuff I've seen there.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I ended up submitting some ideas to shangri la so fingers crossed you may see some pieces dotted around there. I recently finished this 6x4ft commission (seen under blacklight here) and am hoping its the kinda thing they may like in the tunnels
