Work can be 2D or 3D, though unfortunately we cannot accept video or audio works.

Work should be no bigger than 20x20 cm, but can be smaller and any dimensions. The dimensions you give for your work when submitting must include the size of the frame if the work is a framed piece.

All wall text information relating to your work, including price and title, will be taken directly from your Curatorspace submission and should be correct at the time of submission.

You may submit up to 3 images of each work, one image showing the finished piece of work, including the frame if the work is framed, and two further images to show detail if needed.

Work should be collected from the gallery during gallery opening hours between 16th February – 18th March 2022. If you would like your work returning to you by post please be aware that we charge a handling fee. We return work by taking it in person to the Post Office and sending with Royal Mail or Parcelforce only. Couriers cannot collect work from the gallery. If work is small enough you are welcome to include a stamped addressed envelope for return postage which will incur no further charge.

Please note, the gallery will be closed between from 11th December – 5th January and we will not be able to answer any emails or messages during this time.

All work must be complete at the time of submission. Any work which varies from the original piece submitted 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.

The Basement Gallery space is downstairs with no disabled access.

Thank you and good luck!
