We have just launched a new competition on our Facebook page, where you could win free membership for 6 months or a year! Every Wednesday we’ll be selecting an artwork at random from artweb.com and posting it on our wall in our ‘frame’.

If it happens to be your image:

If it happens to be your image, and you manage to spot it before the week is up, you need to claim it to win your prize! To do this just comment on the image on Facebook – you’ll need to be a ‘fan’ of our facebook page to do this (just click on the like button at the top of the page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/ArtWebcom/278685876393)

And if it’s not your image this time, make sure you ‘like’ the image so it’s more likely it is that the owner will find it. Like it every week to keep the prizes flowing…. Good luck!

We are now accepting applications from new artists:

London Artists Collective is a collective of artists living, working and exhibiting in London, ranging in practices from painting sculpture, drawing and installation to sound art and poetry.
If you are a London-based artist, we are currently expanding our circle: visit the website for ideas on how to apply or exhibit with us.
If you are an artist from afar, we are also looking for a select numberof members from further afield for our exchange programme – artists outside of London are encouraged to apply.  This will give you the chance to exhibit in London and us the chance to go on tour.  We are also arranging studio swaps where artists from different locations/ countries/cities can swap studio space for a period of time.

Please see our www.londonartistscollective.co.uk for more details.

What do we do?

• Arrange regular exhibitions to bring our artwork to the world
• Create a platform for collaboration, projects and commissions
• We have interactive exhibitions & poetry on www.londonartistscollective.co.uk
• Arrange studio swaps between artists
• Create & share opportunities
• Publicise individuals & groups within the LAC
• Sell artwork at exhibitions, artfairs and on our website
• We pool resources in order to have bigger & better shows, more contacts and more opportunities as a collective than is possible as individuals
• Connect individuals and groups
• Stimulate open discussion through networking/blogging.

We enjoy art, life, drinks and culture together.  We are not for profit, just for art!
