Every two years the MADE Summer Open highlights a selection of talented artists working in any medium in south Wales, a jury will then select who will receive the prize of a supported solo show in the 2024 gallery exhibition programme !
The MADE Summer Open was established to bring attention and focus to professional artists in Wales, and Cardiff in particular through creating a winner as chosen by a jury of gallerists, curators and previous winners who will award a winner's prize of a solo show in MADE's gallery programme the following year. This raises the bar in several ways; it announces a dedicated period of intention to produce a new body of work, within a curatorial framework of development through conversation towards a show. It focuses promotional energies and press into creating audience interest and engagement, as well as a stated element of investment to draw other funding support for the artist from public bodies and private sponsors. It has successfully helped to establish the careers of emerging artists such as Zena Blackwell and Lucia Jones, Kate Shooter and Ellie Young. For further information on how to apply, visit website.
