You may submit up to 3 images of your piece of work. One image to show the whole piece and a further two images to show details if required.

Work can be collected during gallery opening hours between 21st August - 14th September.

Larger parcels can be returned through Parcelforce and will be sent Express 48. Couriers cannot collect your work from the gallery and we do not print postage labels. 

All work must be completed by the time of submission. Any work which varies from the original piece or size submitted may be rejected.

If you wish to submit any form of print, it will be your responsibility to print it off and prepare it for exhibition before delivering it to us.

Thank you and good luck!
