Please note that the Gallery will not enter into any dialogue regarding your application and can not meet to discuss or view work at this stage. Therefore please make sure you are as clear as possible in the application form and that your images are of a high quality showing the work to its best advantage. Due to high demand, the Gallery will only contact people they are interested in speaking further to about their application. If you have not heard from us by the end of August, please presume your application has not been successful this time. Please do not send in original artwork- we can not return any part of an application.
The deadline for exhibition applications is 30 June every year.
