We've made an amendment to the Exhibition entry fees this year.
Not For Sale pieces will now cost £5 for paintings measuring under 30", and £10 over that (instead of the previous flat £12 for all NFS work).
Also, we're including a guide to presentation:
FRAMED
o a frame of good quality with tightly mitred joints
o clean glass
o neatly cut mount
o hanging cord should be of sufficient strength
o fastened with D-rings which are flush to the frame; not the protruding screw rings as these can damage frames stacked together
o self adhesive or gummed tape on the back to cover the joint between frame and backing
o adhesive label showing: title, price, medium, artists name on the back
o label hanging over the front showing: title, price, medium, artists name
BOXED CANVAS
o picture overlapping edges otherwise painted edges
o hardboard or mount board covering the back
o hanging cord should be of sufficient strength
o fastened with D-rings which are flush to the frame; not the protruding screw rings as these can damage frames stacked together
o adhesive label showing: title, price, medium, artists name on the back
o label hanging over the front showing: title, price, medium, artists name
BROWSER
o neatly cut mount

OTHER ART WORK
