「WELLS ART CONTEMPORARY 2022」簡介

Wells Art Contemporary (WAC) 是一項國際競賽，讓藝術家有機會在威爾斯大教堂展示他們的作品，贏得各種獎項，並被傑出的評委選中。 比賽向所有 18 歲以上的藝術家開放，他們在世界各地以各種媒介和風格工作。

Wells Art Contemporary (WAC) is an international competition giving artists the opportunity to exhibit their work in Wells Cathedral, win a wide range of prizes, and be selected by distinguished judges. The competition is open to all artists over the age of 18, working around the world in all mediums and styles.

投稿主題：

WAC 為藝術家提供了兩種展示作品的方式：大教堂迴廊中的藝術品； 以及大教堂及其場地內的裝置。 作為這座城市文化生活的亮點，每年吸引成千上萬的遊客，WAC 展覽將於 2022 年 7 月和 8 月舉行。

WAC provides two ways for artists to exhibit their work: artworks in the Cathedral cloisters; and installations within the Cathedral and its grounds. A highlight of the city’s cultural life, attracting thousands of visitors each year, the WAC exhibition will take place in July and August 2022.

藝術家須知：威爾斯大教堂不是傳統的藝術畫廊，而是一個具有精神和歷史意義的地方，接待了成千上萬的遊客。 WAC 鼓勵所有藝術家對空間做出富有想像力的反應，同時警惕在這樣一座古老建築中安裝和展示作品的挑戰。

NOTE TO ARTISTS: Wells Cathedral is not a traditional art gallery but a place of spiritual and historic importance which receives thousands of visitors. WAC encourages all artists to respond imaginatively to the space while being alert to the challenges of installing and showing work in such an ancient building.

GALLERY 藝廊

藝術家有機會在圍繞著迴廊的畫廊展示他們的作品，迴廊是一個拱形的中世紀四邊形，圍繞著大教堂南側的一個開放庭院。迴廊是圍繞建築物的主要遊客路線的一部分（見下圖）。這裡專門建造了一個光線充足的白牆畫廊來展示作品。任何媒體的藝術品都將被考慮，包括 3D 和影片。

Artists are offered the opportunity to show their work in the Gallery which runs around the Cloisters, a vaulted medieval quadrangle surrounding an open courtyard on the South side of the Cathedral. The cloisters are part of the main visitor route round the building (see diagram below). A well-lit, white-wall gallery is specially built here to display work. Artwork in any medium will be considered, including 3D and video.

希望為畫廊提交作品的藝術家應注意以下幾點：

Artists wishing to submit work for the Gallery should note the following:

Maximum dimensions for an individual work are 3.5m wide x 2.5m high x 2m deep 單個作品的最大尺寸為 3.5m 寬 x 2.5m 高 x 2m 深

Video artists must supply their own display equipment 視頻藝術家必須提供自己的顯示設備

Artists may enter up to four works 藝術家最多可參賽四件作品

You must supply an image of your work (no more than 1MB) and the title, medium, dimensions and price (please take into account WAC’s commission of 40%). 您必須提供您的作品圖片（不超過 1MB）以及標題、媒介、尺寸和價格（請考慮 WAC 的 40% 佣金）。

INSTALLATIONS

邀請藝術家提交針對特定地點的安裝或乾預的建議，該地點位於大教堂、分會館、卡梅里花園或棕櫚庭院內的任何選定地點。選擇者將尋找與所選地點的建築、空間或精神方面相呼應的想法。並非所有的空間都是宏偉的。也有親密的，幾乎是秘密的角落。引人注目的裝置可以在這裡產生巨大的影響。我們鼓勵您大膽和富有想像力。

Artists are invited to submit proposals for a site-specific installation or intervention in a chosen site anywhere within the Cathedral, the Chapter House, the Camery Garden or the Palm Courtyard. The selectors will be looking for ideas which respond to the architectural, spatial or spiritual aspects of the selected site. Not all of the spaces are grand. There are also intimate, almost secret, corners. Striking installations can make an enormous impact here. You are encouraged to be bold and imaginative.

選擇者將考慮任何媒介和任何規模的想法。您的初始提交應概述

The selectors will consider ideas in any medium and of any size. Your initial submission should outline
