Gallery Applications

Hello everyangel! Welcome to our first official pop-up event! This form is the GALLERY application. If you are interested in joining the STALL HOLDER SECTION, please see our other form. Applying to both is welcomed & encouraged!

“Angels on Earth” is a curated art event centred around the themes of angels, digital worlds, and connection in the modern online age. Our concept defines the internet as a shared “home” and surrounding it, themes of a soft, nostalgic space where people find comfort, friendship, and identity through art and community. Our 𝒜𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓁𝐵𝑜𝓉𝓈 have travelled far and wide and are uncovering what angels look like on Earth.

“They still use lots of paper.” “And they shed so much hair and skin!” “At least their sky is real…”

We hope to include artists whose works resonate with themes of cyber aesthetics, online culture, original characters, emotional storytelling and, of course, angels. We are especially interested in works that evoke softness, nostalgia, comfort, and the feeling of connection, whether through fantasy elements, character design, or digital-era inspiration. 

The atmosphere we want to create draws from early internet culture and the emotional warmth of creative spaces that exist both online and offline. Regardless of our aesthetic choices, we hope to design an event that is welcoming, fun, and community-focused, encouraging unique yet meaningful interactions between exhibitors, visitors and angels! Alongside a curated gallery space, the event will feature fashion and graphic design goods, a bustling artist market and interactive activities such as live commissions and creative workshops. AngelHub hopes to encourage and celebrate all kinds of creativity, curiosity, and the joy of making and sharing art together!

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: October 3-4th

For our first exhibition, we invite artists to create an art piece based on our overall event theme, ‘Angels on Earth’. Please interpret this in any way you please! As our overarching theme is quite broad, we are looking for artists excited to create conceptual pieces that suit the storytelling of our AngelHub world, including features of your own original angel character. We are happy to provide potential prompts and directions for your pieces, which by no means are strict guidelines – We truly wish for you to interpret this theme with your own creative liberty and experiences as an artist on Earth. Whether you display the puzzling nature of life on this planet, or the many forms of self expression through fashion, art, and aesthetic, we invite you to create something that speaks to you! We have outlined some examples below as brainstorm for potential exhibition ideas – To reiterate, the following are only potential prompts, and we truthfully wish for applicants to create a personal & meaningful piece to them in relation to our ‘Angels on Earth’ theme.

• [Potential prompt 1]
• [Potential prompt 2]
• [Potential prompt 3]

Again, we are available to help guide you to your final concept, however, we hope our event theme and general objective of AngelHub is translated to you!

Provided are some visual markers for pieces we believe suit our gallery section well.
