InFems co-founder Adelaide Damoah is one of this years ING selectors and has broight in the Collective as her invited Guest Artists for this years exhibition at Mall Galleries.

Exhibition open at the Mall Galleries and onlineThursday 11 - Sunday 21 November 2021

The ING Discerning Eye is an educational charity, established in the UK in 1990, to encourage a wider understanding and appreciation of the visual arts and to stimulate debate about the place and purpose of art in our society, and the contribution each one of us can make to its development. The exhibition comprises both publicly submitted works and works independently selected by six prominent figures from different areas of the art world: two artists, two collectors and two critics. Each section is hung separately to give each its own distinctive identity. The impression emerges of six small exhibitions within the whole.

It provides an unusual opportunity for works by lesser-known artists to be hung alongside contributions from internationally recognised names. The selectors are solely responsible for their own selection; selection is not by committee. The only restrictions are limitation of size (only small works are permitted) and to select at least 25% of their section from the open submission. The exhibition is also supported by the sponsorship of ING Wholesale Banking. For further information and links please visit http://discerningeye.org

The exhibition will open at the Mall Galleries from the 12 to 21 November alongside a virtual gallery showcasing all the artists’ shortlisted works with commentary and introductions by the selectors. All exhibiting artists will be included in a fully illustrated print catalogue. Awards will be given out to the winners in a prize giving at the start of the exhibition.
