BREIF: Postcard Art has been tried, tested, and a success here on two previous exhibition. We are thinking size, creativity, and affordability. There are endless possibilities with Postcard Art - refers to the size of traditional postcard, with your own artwork or using new, old or vintage postcards and re working.

 The size of the artwork 10cm x 15 cm (or v.v.) without frames, which we will provide and assemble to be wall displayed.

A charge of £1.50 per frame (at cost) for continuity and curating a wall of postcards.

Again, the exhibitions in Water Street Gallery are curated with an emphasis on creativity and originality. Integrity, uniqueness and the qualities of the artist's expression and visual understanding are the prime criteria for our choice of work, as is work of a high artistic standard.

Being an OPEN exhibition the aim is artistic inclusivity with there are no restrictions on theme or content.

I am sure this will be a great exhibition, offering you a gallery profile and the opportunity to sell your work.

This will be a changing exhibition, so to keep it fresh, you may wish to replenish and replace works.

If you are selected, we hope you will enjoy exhibiting with us.

Please pass this information on to fellow artists who may wish to participate.

This runs alongside an Open Exhibition Seeds of Change.
