Works by Anna Mac Donald in The Discerning Eye annual exhibition 15 November to Sunday 25 November 2018.
The Discerning Eye Exhibition will be open to the public from Thursday 15 November to Sunday 25 November 2018. As usual it will be held at The Mall Galleries in the heart of London, just a few steps from The National Gallery and The National Portrait Gallery. It will be open every day from 10am to 5pm, admission will be FREE and all works will be for sale. The exhibition will include works from both well-known artists and from emerging talents.
The Discerning Eye annual exhibition is a show of small works
independently selected by six prominent figures from different areas of the art
world: two artists, two collectors and two critics.
The selectors
choose both publicly submitted works and works by personally invited artists.
Each selector's section is hung separately to give each its own distinctive
identity. The impression emerges of six small exhibitions within the whole.
It provides an
unusual opportunity for works by lesser-known artists to be hung alongside
contributions from internationally recognised names. The selectors are solely
responsible for their own selection; selection is not by committee. The only
restrictions are limitation of size (only small works are permitted) and to
select at least 25% of their section from the open submission.
To enter work you
must be currently resident in the UK, your work must be for sale, and it must
be a maximum of twenty inches (50 centimentres) in any dimension. Artists can
submit up to six works which can be two or three dimensional using any media.
The open submission process begins each summer with the publication of a call
for entries. The selections are made in September. All works must be for sale
and the Discerning Eye's commission helps to fund our activities.
The 2017 exhibition
comprised 465 works by 237 artists, with 75% of the artists and 55% of the works from the open
submission. Painting and drawing made up over 60% of the works, mixed media and
sculpture about 15%, and printmaking about 8%. There were also over £10,000 worth of
prizes awarded.
If you didn't get
