Open Call for Cover Illustrator

Riverbank Arts Centre invites graphic artists and illustrators to submit a cover proposal for our Spring 2025 brochure.  

Each season Riverbank Arts Centre publishes a programme of events and activities taking place. This was stopped during the Covid pandemic in 2020, and resumed for our Autumn 2022 brochure. Since 2009, we have commissioned artists to illustrate the programme cover; turning the programme into a piece of art delivered to our patrons across the country.  

Previous cover illustrators include Brian Coldrick, Peter Donnelly, Sadie Cramer, Fintan Taite, Shona Shirley MacDonald, Holly Pereira, Dermot Flynn, Anne Marie Morrin, Grainne Bath Enright, Marta Barcikowska, Brian Fitzgerald, Shams Asgarzade, Holly Murphy, Alexandra Craciun, Fiyin Oluokun and Jo Jo Gannon.

When:
We are accepting submissions until 5pm, Friday 18 October.  

The Details:
We’re not expecting artists to work on any design etc. prior to selection. Instead we’re looking for your artist biog and samples of previous work.

Selected artist will be contacted with full proposal and contract information by Friday 25 October (the illustration will be required by Friday 22 November).
