DEBUT Contemporary
Salon Contemporary is thrilled to announce the launch of DEBUT Contemporary - www.debutcontemporary.com - an innovative concept for all aspiring and ambitious artists, showcasing the best of British creative talent across all art disciplines. DEBUT Contemporary provides an affordable exhibition and mentoring platform for all talented emerging artists to showcase and sell their artworks where they will be introduced to collectors, art professionals and businesses.
The DEBUT Contemporary licence fee will entail exhibition space, an 80% net profit from all sales facilitated by the gallery, be it for a piece of art or a commercial deal and most importantly guidance and mentoring by a team of industry professionals and much more. Artists will be prepared with a business savvy mind whilst they maintain their artistic freedom and creative licence.
The gallery space is based in the area populated by some of the leading international collectors, curators, art & business professionals. The likes of Simon de Pury of Philips de Pury, Damian Hirst and many other art industry heavyweights are either based locally and/or are often seen around.
We ask you to please help endorse this concept through word-of-mouth by informing other talented artists that you may personally know of this unique opportunity. With more than 1,600 votes already accumulated for the Artist of the Week competition, it is so exciting to be launching DEBUT Contemporary.
The selection process is now open, with a limited number of spaces available which includes:
- allocated space in the gallery
- 80% of net profits
- guidance & mentoring from industry experts
- marketing & PR including social media
- website presence including e-commerce page
