The Green Hill Arts OPEN EXHIBITION is back!
(21st of June – 31st of August 2024)
We are delighted to be working with Dartmoor Magazine on our upcoming Open Exhibition, offering every participating artist the opportunity to take part in a professionally curated show at Green Hill Arts Gallery. An independent panel of judges will select from submitted works, which can be in any medium, and as always we look forward to seeing the unexpected surprises the ‘Open’ often produces.
Editors from Dartmoor Magazine will also choose one successful applicant to be named ‘Dartmoor Magazines Choice’. The chosen artist will be awarded with a feature article about their creative practice within the magazine later this year. Good luck!
We will be accepting submissions on our website from the 1st of March 2024. Submissions will close at midnight on the 12th of May. Successful applicants will be contacted on the 28th of May.
Submission Guidance:
Artists are invited to submit up to three images of their work for consideration. (Exception of Jewellery: a collection of up to 5 pieces.) All submissions cost £20, whether you submit one piece of work, or three.
Submitted images should be no more than 1mb in size. Please title images: (your firstname_last name_number 1-3.jpg). Example: Jane_Smith_1.jpg.
Include a brief description about you and your work together with dimensions and price, (this should include a 35% gallery commission) please include your website address and any social media channels if you have any.
The Open exhibition is open to artists aged 16 and over on the date of submission. All selected work must be delivered to the gallery between 10am and 4pm on the 10th of June 2024 (or by separate arrangement). All individual works must be clearly labelled with your name and the title of the piece.
Entries are accepted in the form of painting, drawing, photography, prints, sculpture and applied arts. Installation art will be considered, but will depend on available gallery space.
2D artworks – The maximum size for any individual work is 1.m x 1.m. Works should either be framed, tablet canvas, mounted on board, aluminum or similar and consideration should be given as to how these will be displayed.
3D artworks – Dimensions should not exceed: width 0.80cm, height 1.5m, length 1.5m. When submitting sculpture, please consider health and safety, and public liability issues. Any special installation requirements should be made clear at the application stage. Where multiple parts make up one piece of work, please make this clear in your application and statement!
Digital Media: Green Hill Arts Gallery has limited supply of audio-visual equipment (projectors, monitors, players etc) and therefore artists who submit work in this category may be required (or may prefer) to supply their own equipment.
If artworks are sold, Green Hill Arts will take a commission fee of 35% of the sale price. Please ensure that the sale price you supply is inclusive of this fee. Any money owed to the artist from sales of work will be paid within 6 weeks of the end of the exhibition.
The gallery will produce any marketing and publicity materials that it considers appropriate. Copyright will remain with the artist, however by signing the submission form the artist agrees that images of their work may be used for promotional purposes.
Any submissions which could be deemed to cause offence (at the discretion of the curator) will not be accepted. The selection panel’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Please note, due to limited gallery space we cannot guarantee that all submitted work will be selected for exhibition. The £20 submission fee is non-refundable.
IMPORTANT:
The picture hanging system requires D-loops (1.5cm width) positioned 10cm down from the top of the frame on both sides to add to stability and strength. Positioning the D-loop a few cm in from the side of the frame allows for fixings to be less visible. On smaller works position D-loops on top third of frame or use string across the back. All work to be hanged must have D-loops attached or cannot be accepted.
We do not class reproductions of drawings and paintings as prints and they will not be accepted. Reproductions that form part of a piece may be accepted so long as there is no breach of copyright. If copyright may be an issue please explain with your application how this has been addressed.
Where multiple parts make up one piece of work, please make this clear in your application and statement. **For hanging purposes, all individual works must also be clearly marked on a stringed luggage label which will reach over the front of the work, with your name and the title of the piece.
