Mentors for the STAND OUT 2022
Blackout Art Society delighted to inform Rzgar Hama, Derek Chan and Edgardo Morenoas are our mentors for the STAND OUT 2022.
Selected Artists for the STAND OUT 2022
We have received diverse and impressive applications for the first edition of the STAND OUT programme. The selection was challenging, but we have narrowed it down to four artists for this year’s programme. The process was very tight and exceptionally close, so artists should not be discouraged if we could not include their work in this year’s programme.
We will soon be displaying more details about the development process for STAND OUT 2022.
