We are excited to invite you to submit work for a prestigious garden sculpture exhibition in 2023 at The Sussex Prairie Garden in Sussex, UK.

The idea for the exhibition is to provide an uplifting and memorable experience for the 28,000 visitors who come to this RHS-affiliated garden in West Sussex between the 1st June to the 15th October 2023. 

The sculptures you submit for consideration must be available to exhibit and sell during this time. If you sell a sculpture we will find a replacement. If you do not have a suitable replacement, we will select from our waiting list of artists. 

Artists must show proof of public liability insurance and their work must be weatherproof.  The venue will take 40% of sales, so the price of your work must take this into account.

As organisers, we will need you to supply us with information for the labels on the work, which will be laminated.  Your work will be labelled with your name, sculpture name and price of the work. 

Artists will be responsible for the delivery, installation and removal of their work. If a piece is sold during the exhibition period, the artist will be responsible for delivering to the customer.

Registration Fee: £25 for up to 3 works
