活動簡介
Wells Art Contemporary (WAC) is an international art competition giving artists the opportunity to exhibit their work in Wells Cathedral and receive a wide range of prizes.
Now in its 13th year, WAC’s next exhibition will take place in August 2023. This annual showcase is a highlight of Wells cultural life and attracts thousands of visitors each summer. Selected artists’ works will be seen by a significant and attentive audience. Submissions can be in any medium or style.
The competition draws artists from around the world, wishing to show in such an inspirational, prestigious and unusual space. Its international reach and reputation has grown significantly in recent years through the exhibition’s online platform and WAC’s ongoing association with eminent artists. An Antony Gormley sculpture is currently installed in niche 338 on the Cathedral’s West front.
WAC provides two ways for artists to exhibit and sell work: the Gallery show, where artworks are shown in a temporary white-wall gallery within the Cathedral cloisters; and the Installation Show which showcases site-specific installations in the main body of the Cathedral and its grounds. Both shows run concurrently.
Wells Art Contemporary (WAC)是一項國際藝術競賽，讓藝術家有機會在 Wells Cathedral 展示他們的作品並獲得廣泛的獎項。

現在已經是第 13 個年頭，WAC 的下一次展覽將於 2023 年 8 月舉行。這個年度展覽是威爾斯文化生活的一大亮點，每年夏天都會吸引成千上萬的遊客。被選中的藝術家的作品將被重要且細心的觀眾看到。提交內容可以採用任何媒介或風格。

比賽 吸引了來自世界各地的藝術家，他們希望在這樣一個鼓舞人心、享有盛譽和不尋常的空間中進行展示。近年來，通過展覽的在線平台和 WAC 與知名藝術家的持續合作，其國際影響力和聲譽顯著提高。Antony Gormley 雕塑目前安裝在大教堂西側的壁龕 338 中。

WAC 為藝術家提供兩種展示和銷售作品的方式：畫廊展，在大教堂迴廊內的臨時白牆畫廊中展示藝術品；以及展示大教堂主體及其場地特定地點裝置的裝置展。兩個節目同時進行。
