The theme over at Soho Theatre this summer has been set, Utopia. Throughout the season you’ll be able to catch a nice selection of short pieces based on this theme; plays will be written by a range of emerging and well established play-writes. As a supplement to the positive vibes of ‘Utopia‘, Soho Theatre are looking for 6 young artists to join in on the fun with accompanying visual art-works relating to the theme. The theatre are looking for people under 26 living, working or studying in London to submit their own original art work that best represents ‘Utopia’- these pieces will go up around the theatre between May and July this year. Interested? More info on how to apply and what you get in return after the break.

What’s in it for you?

Your work will hang in our busy theatre before and during the run of UTOPIA, one of the flagship shows during our 2012 season. We will be including information about the artwork and the artists around the building, and your work will be seen by audiences, the press and lots of influential people during that time. You’ll also be taking part in a very exciting project which we hope will ignite debate and discussion about society and the future of humanity.

How can I take part?

You need to send a hi-res image of the artwork you’d like to enter, 100 words about the piece and a short biography of yourself, along with your contact information to utopia@sohotheatre.com by16 April 2012.
