Cordially Yours

Camel Art Space, New York

As artists, don't we all wish that our carefully selected portfolios and painstakingly written emails to art galleries may some day be considered, or even looked at?

At Camel Art Space we decided to not only consider every submission we received, but to put our favorites in a group show all their own. We are therefore proud to offer Cordially Yours, a group show of 7 artists selected by Camel Art Space from portfolio submissions received over the past year.

Artists: Tom Engel, Dominik Halmer (Ger.), Monika Malewska, William O'Neill (Ire.), Joey Parlett, Jillian Ross (Can.), Liam Wylie (Can.)

Cordially Yours, Kind Regards, Sincerely Yours, Best Regards..These are the endings to the letters we received for requests to be considered for showing in our exhibition space. Before these endings were written, the writers revealed their hopes, dreams and desires to be part of an artistic scene of emerging peers. To be picked out and selected out of a multitude of artists all vying for that same spot on the wall. To be raised above the competition and be allowed an additional stile up on the ladder that is their artist careers, to finally be celebrated for their artistic endeavours.
Even though the chance ratio of artists getting shown through a selection processes like this being rather slim, it has still undoubtedly become a standard practice for many to keep sending out their work for consideration to galleries. At Camel Art Space, we feel it a dutiful part of our programming to then also look at the works and try to do something with it. Last year we invited everyone who had sent us their works for consideration and created a show called On the Grid. This year we decided to make a careful selection that amounts to an exhibition of discoveries of national and international allure.

Camel Art Space is an Artist operated exhibition Space with a focus on current issues in art within a not for profit work frame, is a member of Williamsburg Gallery Association and is participating in 2:nd Friday Art Walk. Situated in one of New York’s artistically richest neighborhoods we aim to provide an accessible exhibition platform and meeting venue for artists, curators and audience alike.
