OFF GRID CALL OUT
CALL OUT FOR YOUNG ARTISTS
We are looking to commission eight young artists, aged between 17 and 25, from Penzance, Newlyn, and the surrounding area to make work for our temporary, off-site project, Off Grid.
Off Grid is a new site-specific exhibition linking Penzance and Newlyn and will take place during the Penzance Festival of Art 2022, which runs 3 – 19 Jun.
