for more information on the Open, and a list of all the prizes valued up to £7000, including ours. We have been members of this prestigious art co-op for six years and are actively involved in all the digital aspects of the group, social media etc. We want to encourage more digital artists to become involved with the group and hope this £500 prize will achieve that. We recently co-curated a small exhibtion of member’s digital art at Watermans New Media Centre.

The London Group Open exhibitions this year are in the Cello Factory, Waterloo in November and December 2017. The gallery is predominantly a large white space, but it does have a dark room upstairs. This room is usually where selected videos are projected in a show reel. Please take into account the venue when submitting digital work for the show. There are size restrictions (there are about 70 members and 70 non-members in the show) so you will need to work out how best to display your work. You will need to provide all equipment, unless you are happy to go onto a show reel of video / audio. However there are no restrictions on what type of digital media you use and we will be generous when classifying what is or isn’t digital art.

Good Luck
