The work can be either under 50cm or under £50. This means that it can be under 50cm however more than £50 or over 50cm but under £50. If you have a piece that is small but £1000 for example that is ok as it fits under the 50cm rule.

There is a fee of £25 to artists who are successful, to cover curator fees, venue hire, marketing and promotions, including a private view/open evening. You can submit more than 1 piece, any pieces after the intitial £25, are charged at £5 per piece. (so 3 pieces would be £35) Unless it is a collection, for example, jewellery.

There is NO COMMISSION taken on sales. If a piece of work sells then there is no fee to replace that piece of work with a new item. The fee is a one off payment. All artists should have Public Liability Insurance in place and are responsible for the delivery and collection of their work to the venue.
