Open Call Sluice 2013

Sluice Art Fair

Class 1 Project Space is based in the small North-Eastern town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Our aim is to build communities of artists and those who encounter art.

An unsubsidised space, Class 1 is interested in exploring models of mutuality in ways of providing exposure for as many artists in our area and the wider north as possible.

Class 1 will be attending the Sluice Art Fair at 47/49 Tannner Square in Bermondsey between 19/20th October 2013, during Frieze, and we are now welcoming submissions from contemporary artists.

We will create a space of intrigue, a space of touch and exploration, aiming to re-connect the understanding of art with the process of discovery.

Just as a visitor to the local car boot or table-top sale feeds their hunger for the excitement of unearthing something of value amongst the unknown; we will recreate this in our display.
