10 ARTISTS

500 MINUTES

500 DRAWINGS

after an 8 year hiatus, the REAM drawing challenge returns…

are you an artist?

do you like drawing quickly?

are you available from 11am on saturday 29th february?

some artists have been pre-selected but we still have a few spots left to fill for this drawing marathon…

ten artists will be given a table & eight hours & 20 minutes to produce fifty drawings each from the ream of five hundred collectively between 11am & 7.20pm.

each piece will need to be completed & hung in the gallery in time for the vernissage at 8pm that evening.

each artist will also be responsible for taking a photo & posting the image on the REAM instagram.

this is an experiment in creativity & stamina which will hopefully result in a gallery full of five hundred beautiful & interesting images.

the works will then be for sale at a nominal fee of 15€ each so throughout the day the exhibition will build & then slowly be deconstructed as the drawings can be instantly taken away once they have been purchased.

10€ will go to the artist, 5€ will be split between the organisers & the venue to cover costs.

if you are interested in participating, please send a brief email about yourself & a link to your work to reamexhibition@gmail.com & follow r_e_a_m_2_0_2_0_ on instagram.
