We are looking for artists from the LGBTQ+ community to be part of a small group exhibition in Holmfirth

Fair Trader is a not-for-profit cooperative. We provide opportunities for artists and artisans both regionally and globally.

For this exhibition, we would like to provide a platform for our LGBTQIA+ community to engage with the wider community through their art.

The artist must identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community and live within the region. Attending the set-up, preview, and take-down dates is a requirement for this group exhibition.

There is no theme to work to; we will be showcasing pieces of work that represent you as an artist.

All art will be for sale. We take 30% commission on everything that we sell for you, and for that, we provide a professionally run gallery space open 7 days a week.

We make and distribute a guidebook with a section for each of the artists showing, we put on a preview night with drinks and nibbles that taps into our loyal customer base, advertising throughout the shop and into the wider community and graphics for you to use on your socials.

Artists will be chosen based on the quality of work submitted and in a way that produces a cohesive and vairied exhibition.

There is space for a lot of work so we'd be looking for artists that have a body of work to exhibit and sell.

The key dates are as follows:

6th June - Delivery and set up of artwork

7th June - Preview evening

3rd July - Take down

Fees:

No charge to apply, but the cost to exhibit is £25.
