E* Exhibitions DIY, OPENS & INVITATIONS & Heart-sinkers! Opens – Zeitgeist Open 2012 coming soon! Salon Art Prize, Charlie Dutton’s Crash Open Salon, Creekside Open, Jerwood Drawing Prize, Mostyn Open, Oriel Davis Open, London Open, Marmite Prize Invitations – You need to build up your relationships to receive invitations [Define heart-sinker – something that appears to be an exhibition opportunity, initially but slowly reveals itself as not so, intentions of organisers not always bad just naivety. Work involved, £, demands too much. Depends on what you expect at the start. Is it diy & piy – pay-for-it-yourself!]
