What we want from you
We are always on the look out for original artists and designer-makers. If you would like to contact us about your work we recommend following these guidelines.
1. Images: If you have a website that we can view, please let us know. Otherwise, please email a relevant selection of images of your work to the gallery. Total size of images emailed should be less than 10MB. Please include a self-addressed envelope if you wish images on CDROM to be returned to you.
2. Pricing: It is important for you to include artist/trade prices OR retail price. Please note we only take work on a consignment basis.
3. Dimensions: This is particularly useful for paintings and sculptures so that we can gauge sizes.
Please note that many of our exhibitions are themed. It may be that your work is not suitable for certain exhibitions but may be suitable at a later date. For this reason, we may not contact you straight away and we keep a huge resource of makers on file for future shows. Decisions are based on what we think will work within the gallery at any given time.
Please mark any approaches for the attention of Tracey Holt Walkden (Exhibitions Curator).
