Open to UK & International artists working in any media with an entry fee of £35 for up to 3 works. A longlist of 50 artists will be whittled down to 30 for a group show next January. Jurors include London art critics Anthony Fawcett & Tabish Khan alongside gallery co-founder and artist Constantin Cosmin. (Closes 25th September)

Sarah Daly Interview
It was a genuine pleasure to put together this Interview with Sarah Daly, a Brisbane based artist and AI researcher. We spoke about her new online course The Full Time Artist Formula for artists who are already selling their work just not regularly enough. Sarah expands on her PhD level research approach to interview and survey successful artists to knowing your buyers, working with interior designers and the fascinating ways she collaborates with AI in her own painting.
After watching parts of the course and spending time with Sarah’s work and writing this is clearly a labour of love backed by a serious amount of research and experience. I’m happy to recommend Sarah’s course and have signed MoMa up as an affiliate so we’ll receive a small commission if you decide to purchase it. To the interview…
