For the month of December, BobCat Gallery is transformed into a festive emporium of art and gifts, with something for every Christmas list!

Will this opportunity suit you? 

You are welcome to submit paintings, drawings and other original works on paper, e.g. screenprints and cyanotypes, sculpture, glass and ceramics, mixed media works, textiles and limited edition photography.

Each accepted artist will be able to submit up to ten artworks for sale, including:

- Ready to hang wall-based works, either framed or unframed, preferably strung with D- rings. Please note mirror plates are not accepted. All work must be labelled on the reverse.

- Unframed, mounted pieces for a browser (must be wrapped in cellophane and clearly labelled with your name, title and price).

- Free-standing 3D works, e.g. sculpture or ceramics. If a plinth is required, the artist will need to supply this for now. Please advise if works can be displayed on a table or shelf so I can plan accordingly.

- Handmade crafts such as Christmas decorations, jewellery or candles (please ensure these are provided with the relevant packaging and safety information for customers – we reserve the right to refuse any goods which are poorly presented or we feel to be unsafe).

Please note that BobCat Gallery is focused on affordable art, and therefore I request that works are priced £2,000 and under.

Reproduction prints, e.g. giclée, digital artworks and open edition photography prints, are not accepted.

Please be aware of the presentation of your work. Any items which I deem not to be a suitable standard for sale will be rejected at hand-in.

Terms and Conditions:

1. There is a non-refundable participation fee of £100.00 per artist, payable in advance to BobCat Gallery. Once payment has been processed, artists agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.  

2. There will be a commission of 20% on all sales; please ensure that your retail price includes this commission. Payment to the Artist shall be made by the Gallery within 30 days of sale(s) being finalised, and a full statement will be issued for all sales. 

3. Where a customer opts to pay in instalments over three months, works will be held in trust by BobCat Gallery until final payment is received and the work delivered to the client. If, for any reason, a customer defaults on their payments, the work will be returned to the artist.

4. The Artist is responsible for arranging transportation for their artwork(s) to the venue, and collecting unsold artwork(s) from the venue once their display period comes to an end.

Charges for transportation, insurance costs, and risk of loss or damage incurred in the delivery of artwork(s) to and collection from the venue are the responsibility of the Artist.

5. BobCat Gallery shall be responsible for the safekeeping of all consigned artworks while they are in its custody, and will provide full Public and Products Liability insurance as well as coverage in case of theft or damage to artworks.

The Gallery shall provide the artist with all relevant information about its insurance coverage if the Artist requests this information. Each artist is also advised to arrange their own insurance cover commensurate to the value of their work.

6. Works will be exclusively for sale via BobCat Gallery during December 2024. Please ensure that any additional online listings are removed during this time. In the event that a work is accidentally sold elsewhere while on display, the artist is liable for commission to BobCat Gallery.

Please remember that good-quality images must be submitted for each artwork, as we may use these in online sales and both print and digital promotion. Please also ensure you rename your image files with full captions for all works: Artist Name_Title_Medium_Size_Price.
