Dear Artists,
CoExist will be running a small project space with Metal Culture and we are looking for artists in the Southend area to submit work for a series of small group and solo exhibitions, which will run during September and October, one of which will be during the Metal Culture Village Green Festival on 27th September.
**There is no administration charge for submitting your work for this opportunity and there are no funds to pay any of the artists who show in the exhibitions.**
We are accepting submissions from artists who live in the Southend area, any discipline/media will be considered.
This is an exciting opportunity as Metal Culture are donating a temporary gallery space on the ground floor of Chalkwell Hall until building work begins. If you are interested in exhibiting, please send us a short statement about yourself and your work and 3 jpgs [low res]. If you are submitting video/film please send short clips only. and make sure they are mac compatible. Send to: coexist@hotmail.co.uk.
Please feel free to contact us if you want more info.
We will be posting updates.
DEADLINE: 29th August 2008
Sunday, August 10, 2008

Exhibition Opportunities
If you would like to get involved in group exhibitions and be kept informed of when we plan to do them in the future, please email us your name, contact details and a little about your work and we will contact you.
An Idea?? Southend - South End
We are too late for this year but if we can get some ideas together I think it would be amazing... Check them out. www.seaba.com/
I SENT THIS TO SEABA IN SOUTH END IN VERMONT:
SOUTH END SOUTHEND PROPOSAL
My name is Amy Mckenny, I am an artist who lives in a town called Southend in the UK and I am currently sending proposals to the local council for arts developments here. I wondered whether there would be any way of perhaps linking an event here in Southend with your South End. As the area is very close to London local contempoary art has not been given the proper attention it deserves, so many local contemporay artists 'migrate' down the Thames to London. It would be great to lift the profile of Southend from small town provincial arts to edgy contemporary art hub. One that exists along side London but not dependant on it.
I understand what you have here is an established arts event and I am not expecting Southend to be included in this, but I wondered if there was anything we could do along side that, or a seperate 'South end - Southend' event, maybe a link up - perhaps even a live linked exhibtion. I am open to tossing round suggestions and will be willing and able to pull our local contemporary artists out of hiding.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this,
Kind regards,
Amy Mckenny from Southend.
THEIR REPLY:
Amy - How cool! I'll include this in our list of "possible" events/activities. If you have specific ideas, please pass them on. We'll keep in touch.
