Fronteer Gallery are looking for postcard sized works to be part of an exhibition in January.

Fronteer Gallery are looking for postcard sized work to be part of a two week long exhibition in January 2023. There is no theme to this exhibition, but all work must be strictly 6x4 inches (A6). Work can be any medium except audio or video. Work must be unframed with no hanging attachments in place, and they will be hung using Command Strips.

Artists are invited to submit 3 pieces of work for the exhibition. You should start a new application form for each piece of work you wish to submit. You may provide a short description of no more than 150 words for each submission, but this will NOT be displayed alongside the work.

The exhibition will run from 14th – 28th January 2023, opening alongside another exhibition at the Private View evening on 14th January which will be 6-7.30.

Gallery opening times are Wednesday – Saturday 11-4.

Please note, the gallery is upstairs and there is no disabled access.

Artists from all backgrounds are invited to submit up to 3 piece of work each. It is free to apply with only successful artists paying a fee of £10 for each piece of work selected. Please be aware of the cost implication if all of your pieces are chosen.

In return for your fee, you will get a private view evening with free drinks which you are welcome to bring friends and family along to, invigilation throughout, and promotion of the exhibition online through social media posts.

The submission deadline is 28th December 2022 and successful artists will be contacted by 29th December.

Successful artists should send their work by post. Please note that it can only be sent using Royal Mail as only the Royal Mail delivery person has access to the building. You cannot send your work by courier or deliver work in person for this exhibition. Fronteer Gallery will be closed for the first two weeks in January so all work should be posted to our artist’s studio address instead.  

Work sent by post should reach us by 11th January 2023 at the latest. Please allow time for any potential Royal Mail postal strikes that may occur in January.

If you have any issues with the dates or delivery method please contact us before applying.

Successful artists should pay their fee by 11th January 2023.

Work can be offered for sale during the exhibition, and there is a commission charge of 10%.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

How to Submit

Artists are invited to submit one piece of work measuring exactly 6x4 inches (A6).

All work will be hung using Command Strips and must be unframed. You may submit up to 3 images of each piece of work.

You should send a stamped addressed envelope with your work for us to return any work which is unsold to you after the exhibition ends.

All work must be complete at the time of submission. Any work which varies from the original piece submitted or the size restrictions may be rejected. If you wish to submit any form of print, it will be your responsibility to print it off and prepare it for exhibition before delivering it to us.

Thank you and good luck!
