Artists, would you like to be considered for a show in 2012?

Deadline for submissions extended to January 7th 2012

Notes for artists who are interested in having a show at the Halesworth Gallery in 2012

The gallery is open from May to September each year and the artists are chosen by our selection committee in early January of each year. We have up to a hundred applications each year to look at and we make six shows a year out of these applications. We try to include as many artists as we can. This year we have shown about 35 artists in six themed shows plus the Open Show at the end of the year which had over 150 works. The gallery has sold about £9,000 worth of art in each of the past two seasons.

The gallery fee is £80 for each two and a half week show. Commission is 25% on works sold. Shows are stewarded by volunteers and artists are encouraged to steward their own show for a session or two; always an interesting experience. The gallery arranges publicity with local papers though further publicity arranged by artists is encouraged. The preview parties are always well attended and the gallery supplies cheese and wine. Artist contributions to the wine stock are appreciated.

When & Where Should I apply?
The selection committee sits at the beginning of each year in early January to select artists from the submissions we receive for the coming year. If you would like to be considered then your submission needs to be with our Exhibitions Secretary, Paul Cope, by December 31st. Deadline extended to January 7th 2012.

Photography of work
About a dozen to two dozen good quality jpeg images on a disc, colour prints or photographic slides work well. Good, clear in-focus images showing your work at its best and giving us a good idea about the colours and textures of the work. Some indication of the scale of work is also important either on the slide or back of the print or on an acompanying list of works. Indications of materials and technique are also helpful.

Print-outs onto normal typing paper are often of such poor quality that it is very difficult to discern the original colours and textures of the art works. Digital images need to be of a high resolution initially and then printed out on photo paper to give a good clear image. You can take digital images on a disc to a photographic processors such as Anglia Photographic in Halesworth or Wells in Southwold or branches of Boots or Jessops and they can print out your images on photographic paper which looks good and costs no more than normal photographic printing or printing them yourself on an inkjet printer.

We are happy to view digital images of work submitted on CD. Again the images need to be of a good quality and some indication of the size of the works is very helpful. Powerpoint and other sorts of slide show are always nice too.

Websites can also be part of your submission. If there are times in the season that you would prefer then please let us know and we will take this into account.

Statements
A short statement about your work with a brief CV is also helpful. Some indication of any art education and any previous exhibitions can be helpful though not a neccessity by any means! Traditionally we have shown artists with a link with East Anglia.

If selected artists are invited to an artists's meeting on a Saturday morning in early March to look at the gallery and make the finer arrangements. Artists are responsible for delivering and displaying their work with the aid of our gallery manager on the appointed day and arranging to collect their work at the end of the show.

Good luck and we look forward to hearing from you.
