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.
