SPRYTE IS NOW TAKING SUBMISSIONS!

Spryte is artist-run and financially supported by individuals - parameters that are really important to us. In line with this, we would like to introduce something we really care about: that anywhere which shows work should be open to submissions and proposals, which are also treated exactly the same as the rest of the programme.

We are very excited to say that Spryte is now open to submissions! We are going to keep the application process as light on your labour as possible. If you would like to submit a work, please email us at hello@spryte.info with the subject as “Submission” + your name. In the email, please include a link to the work you would like us to see and any writing you feel necessary/relevant (there also doesn’t need to be any writing attached at all). To keep things equally light on our side, if we would like to stream the work we will get in touch. 

Most importantly, we current only show works that have already been made (although we hope to fund/commission works in the distant future).

If successful the work will be streamed on Spryte, just like all the other works we’ve shown.

Each streamed video receives a total £100 screening fee (paid for thanks to the support of our patrons via Patreon, while we make up the rest). The fee reflects what the project can currently afford, but we hope and plan for this to grow as we increase our supporters!

We promote the stream a week or two before on our Instagram, newsletter, and some exhibition news websites.

In terms of what we look for, we keep this as open as possible. Our programme is very open in terms of subject and content - some streams are more audio-focused, others are live webcams, documentaries and other types of footage that sit more outside the realm of artist-made moving-image work (as well as some that are very much positioned within that realm, too). One key thread between all streams is a playful approach to narrative - something that we are deeply interested in and an element which spans many fields and mediums.

See our Archive page on our website for a look at what we’ve shown before - although, this is also just a slice of the type of work we are interested in showing.

Spryte streams works on loop for 12 hours (we may also try some 24 hours ones soon) on sporadic Sundays, approximately once a month (again, we’re hoping this grows... more funding = more streams!)

We can’t wait to see your work!
