Display of artwork in the Showell Gallery, Wychavon Civic Centre
 
Conditions


The Showell Gallery has 5 boards on which to exhibit your artwork. The area itself is fully accessible to all potential visitors.

 

Security

Although Wychavon District Council will try and make sure the artwork is safe and secure, we can not take any responsibility for the damage or safety of the artwork. The artist or organisation should therefore have adequate insurance provision.

 

There is a security camera in the area of the exhibition. People will be passing through the Showell Gallery in the day, but significantly less so in the evenings. We advise, strongly, that the artwork is secured properly to the boards provided. The boards themselves are MDF which are in turn affixed to the walls.

 

Hanging space

  • The total available hanging space is made up of 5 walls with board dimensions 135cm high by 255cm wide/107cm high by 120cm wide/138cm high by109cm wide/140cm high by 100cm wide/140cm high by 109cm wide
  • The Showell Gallery is sometimes used for other events, e.g. as a reception area for blood donors, so please be aware of this.
  • You will be responsible for the hanging and taking down of the artwork

 

Lighting

  • Natural lighting from windows
  • Fluorescent lighting for the room

 

Sales

It is fine for you to sell your work. Please make sure that the price details are displayed clearly. The Council will not charge you for your exhibition but will expect 15% commission of any sales you have. You will need to put contact details up for yourself so people can approach you direct to buy them. The Council cannot take responsibility for any sales. The sold artwork will need to stay in the exhibition until the end of the time allocated. The commission is expected to be paid once the exhibition has finished. Please make cheques payable to Wychavon District Council.

 

Publicity

The artist or organisation will need to publicise the exhibition themselves. However, we can mention them on our Arts Development newsletter and e-news.

 

Applications for exhibitors

Potential exhibitors are expected to fill out an expression of interest form by 17th November and send three images of your work, either by e-mail or photographs by post. Please make sure photographs are clearly labelled. A decision will be made by 19th November and you will be informed of the outcome just after this.
