Unmute | Dunoon Burgh Hall
Submissions are now open for Unmute!
Over the last two years we have had to adapt and find new approaches to connecting with one another. It has not always been easy but it is these connections that have helped us get through these strange times. It is our pleasure to announce our first physical exhibition of the year, in collaboration with Dunoon Burgh Hall.
As we restart these in-person conversations and connections that we have missed, we invite all SSA members to submit work for consideration for our upcoming exhibition in Argyll and Bute. The exhibition will take place from 17 June – 24 July 2022.
We are really looking forward to welcoming artists back into a gallery setting and we invite artists to submit up to three pieces of work in any discipline, media or size.
