Artists meeting the Outside In criteria* are invited to submit two pieces of work to be considered for inclusion in an exhibition at Pallant House Gallery to take place between 27th October 2012 - 3rd February 2013. This is the Outside In: National competition and is open for submissions now.

*Outside In Criteria: Outside In aims to provide a platform for artists who find it difficult to access the art world either because of mental health issues, disability, health, social circumstance or because their work does not conform to what is normally considered as art.

Outside In has no set creative criteria, boundary in art process or limit on subject for the artists that choose to align themselves with the project.

From the Outside In: National there will be six award winners chosen by a panel of three judges. These award winners will have the opportunity to have a month long solo exhibition each in the studio at Pallant House Gallery. Previous winners have had their work bought by other artists and collectors, been in the media and one was recently on BBC South on the six o' clock news!

The closing date for applications is Friday 20th July 2012.
