Art Work by Quentin Allen

Following the success of the 2021 Exhibition, we are pleased to invite submissions for Zambia’s Second Annual Wildlife Art Exhibition which will be formally opened at the National Art Gallery in Livingstone on Saturday 26 November and run for three months thereafter. As was the case last year, the Exhibition will be run in associated with the Annual Southern Zambia Birding Festival, the third iteration of which (ASZBF3) will also start on 26 November with a series of events in Livingstone itself to be followed during the subsequent week by events throughout Southern Province. The Exhibition will again be curated by Quentin Allen.

The start of the ASZBF3 coincides with the end of the 2022 Pan-African Ornithological Congress in Victoria Falls and we expect to draw PAOC participants across the border for the Festival. It follows that the Exhibition will again give preference to works featuring birds. Zambian and Zambia-based artists with eligible works are invited to submit them for consideration subject to the following terms and conditions:

• Submissions for consideration to be made by email or WhatsApp with a high quality photograph of the work(s), dimensions, title and sale price to Quentin (s.allen@gmail.com, +260979602032) and myself no later than 1 October 2022;
• Submitted works must be clearly related to Zambia’s wildlife and/or conservation of the country’s natural environment;
• No more than two pieces per artist will be accepted for exhibition;
• The curators’ decision on what pieces to exhibit is final;
