Information for artists

The Gallery shows between 8 and 16 exhibitions a year, each open for approximately 3 weeks, in addition to the Open Art Competition.
There is no charge to the artist and the Gallery does not take any commission on sales.
Artists are responsible for their own insurance and for the delivery and collection of their work. They must also set up their exhibition with assistance from the gallery manager.
Artists must give permission for images of their work to be used by the Willoughby Memorial Trust for publicity and archival purposes.
The Trustees reserve the right to mount two shows simultaneously in separate spaces in order to achieve a balanced exhibition programme. Artists will be informed of their allocated spaces when dates are agreed.
Artists may arrange their own private view but this must be within gallery opening hours unless by special arrangement.
Artwork Specifications
As the main exhibition spaces are on the first floor, it is not possible to show excessively large or heavy work. As a rough guide, 2D work should not exceed 1220 x 1220 mm and 3D work be no larger than 600 mm x 600 mm x 1220 mm unless it is in sections. Original work only, not reproductions.
There are 11 display screens, each 4 ft x 6 ft (see below). For a detailed map of the exhibition space, please scroll to the bottom of this page.
Some wall space is suitable for 2D work but most is shown on 11 moveable double sided screens and there are plinths for the display of 3D work.
2D work should be fitted with ‘D’ rings and strung ready for hanging.
Images for a poster (A3) for the exhibition to be displayed outside the Gallery must be provided by the artist.
