For the month of January, BobCat Gallery will host an exhibition of original artworks to bring light to the darkest time of the year. Bright, bold and beautiful artwork will help to banish the January blues, alongside a series of panel discussions and creative workshops, with selected artists invited to demo their work live in the gallery as well.

Will this opportunity suit you? 

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

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

Please note:

• Wall-based works should be ready to hang, either framed or unframed, preferably strung with D- rings. Mirror plates are not accepted.
• The maximum size for wall-based works is 100cm x 100cm including framing.
• 3D works can be free standing, however if they require a plinth this will need to be supplied by the artist. If work can be displayed on a table or shelf, please advise.
• BobCat Gallery is focused on affordable art, and therefore I request that works are priced £2,000 and under.
