The proposals should be suitable for public display and fit with the overarching theme for the next edition of Art Week. The theme, selected by KCAW Advisory Board for the 2024 edition of Art Week, will be published on our website on 10 October 2023. In addition to the theme the Open Call supports proposals from locally based artists and sculptors of varying stages in their professional careers and that:
+ Reflect on the history and legacy of the area where the work will be presented, Kensington and Chelsea’s rich artistic heritage, ancient and modern
+ Encourage audience engagement
+ Evoke the celebratory spirit of the festival
