Pictures for An Art Show that may never happen

[William Overington]

[William Overington]

Please produce pictures as 400 millimetres by 300 millimetres with a 3 millimetre bleed at each edge at 300 dots per inch.

Landscape orientation or Portrait orientation as you choose.

Please post a png of 590 pixels by 443 pixels in the Pictures of An Art Show that may never happen thread.

Any topic of your choice, provided that the picture is not unsuitable for viewing by a family audience.

I will seek sponsorship for the Art Show and a gallery for it to be exhibted.

I am thinking that artwork files would be sent directly to the art printer and framed giclée prints would be sent directly to the gallery by the art printer.

Yes, the Art show that may never happen may never happen, but that is not a certainty at this time.

Just a small comment: in French, the expression ‘bienvenue!’ (welcome) at the entrance to a place has a final ‘e’.
If you say ‘sois le bienvenu’ to a man, there is no final ‘e’. If you are addressing a woman, ‘sois la bienvenue’ takes a final ‘e’.

The 'no requirement' could be regarded as at two levels.

Firstly, nobody is required to produce or post anything at all.

Secondly, it is  the case that although I started this thread, it is not my thread, so if people choose to post pictures at whatever size then I suppose that the rules of the forum are that such is allowed as I am not allowed to require a size.

The fact of the matter though is that I am trying to achieve a result of an art show of work produced by people using Affinity apps. No requirement to be a professional artist, no requirement to be in some age group, no requirement to be able to travel, just art by people who use Affinity apps, at whatever level of ability.

There is a non-zero probability of the art show happening. Perhaps not very much above a zero probability, but not actually zero probability.

So I have tried to make the process of achieving the result of an art show of work produced by people using Affinity apps as straightforward as I can - it will still be a big task to achieve the result, but I am trying to remove as many obstacles as I can.

I have found that giclée prints are available in many sizes yet that framed giclée prints, where the framing is provided at the printers and a framed print can be sent direct to somewhere, are available in a much smaller number of sizes.

So, I specified artwork for this hoped-for art show to be at a size for which the framed print facility is available. I am thinking of natural wood frames. A collection of pictures at various levels of artistic ability each produced using one or more Affinity apps and each in a natural wood frame.

Hopefully there would be still photographs and a video of the exhibition.

I am not intending this to be an art show where someone sits deciding what will be accepted, in fact quite the opposite. 

I accept that maybe nobody will be interested, in which case, c'est la vie and this thread will just drift into the archives.

Yet if you are interested, please do not let any lack of experience of art cause you to feel that you cannot participate, because you can.

If you are stuck, just ask. Though I am not a professional artist, yet maybe somebody will advise.

This thread just needs to get going, and if it does, then maybe the art show will happen.

Your initial post did not say to use Affinity to create the art. I think it should be edited to add that requirement.

Possibly you can do that, but possibly a Moderator would have to do it.
