• 1-4 images of your work attached to the email (Jpeg format preferably and any quality is accepted as long as we can see your work clearly).

If you want the curators of our gallery to see more of your work, then you can also include your website and your social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook etc).
Video Art: Please send us the links with your videos online ( on Vimeo, Youtube or your personal websites). Alternatively, you can send us stills of your videos attached to your email. Please also include all the necessary information (titles of your work and duration). Your videos will be displayed in a screen with headsets attached for the audio.
'Virtual Solo Exhibitions'
If you want to apply for your own virtual show, then please send us the following information:
• Your name as you want it displayed in our posters, catalogues and other publications.
• The title of you exhibition.
• Up to 20 artworks of your choice. You are more than welcome to use a Dropbox link or send them to us using WeTransfer.
Please send us the information above, according to the project you are applying for, at opportunities@artnumber23.uk
• guidelines
There is no deadline to apply. You can send us your application whenever you are ready and you will be notified with the results within one to three weeks. If you are selected, then you will receive an email with the specific dates of the exhibition and all the necessary information.
The theme of our shows is open and the artists can select their strongest artworks to show to our Curators and of course to our audience. All styles are permitted (abstract, figurative, nudes, portraiture, still life, minimal and more).
Please remember to specify in your application or in the subject/title of your email, the project you want to apply for e.g. 'Virtual exhibitions' or 'Solo Virtual Exhibition'.
• promotion
All participants will be included in a campaign of promotion in order to help them reach new audiences from around the world. Some of the features that the participants will get are the following:
• Social Media Stories. All participants will be featured in our stories on our social media accounts, which will be viewed by thousands of people.
• e-Catalogues with hyperlinks. All the participants will be featured in an e-Catalogue with the images of their work and clickable hyperlinks that will direct the viewers to their websites/social media accounts.
• Newsletter. Each exhibition and all the artists will be featured in our newsletters (5000+ subscribers).
• Please note that the artists who are applying for their own virtual exhibition, will have their very own catalogue with all their artworks included and also a short interview (optional).
• All the artists (for both projects) will receive the links to the virtual shows and the e-Catalogues so they can easily share them with their audience.
• fees and commission
It is completely free for everyone to submit their application. If you get selected, then a small contribution will be required in order to cover the expenses of the project. Prior to that, you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you are still interested in participating, so submitting your application will not put you in a position that you will need to pay, if you change your mind.
We work as a collective so your contributions will not just help us keep being active, creative and productive but it will also allow us to offer working positions to other artists so they can work on projects related to their field of expertise.
Lastly, it is very important to consider that we do not take any commission from the sales. The funds from the sold artworks go back to the artists 100%.
The fees have been calculated according to the expenses of each project :
• Group Virtual Shows - £25 for a three week show (21days).
• Solo Virtual Shows - £80 for three months.
Please note that the fee is per artist and not per artwork. We usually select 1-4 pieces approximately (depending on their size) from each artist to be exhibited. The fees for the exhibition include VAT and they are meant to cover all costs so no extra charges will be applied.
• how and when to pay
You will not need to make any payments right now. Once you have been selected, you will receive an 'Acceptance Email' from our team with all the information and the payment link. It is a totally safe and very easy procedure and you can use either your Bank Card or your PayPal account.
