About Our Exhibition Opportunities:
As a not-for-profit organisation, and as artists ourselves, we make every effort to make our opportunities as affordable as possible while also being sustainable. As such, successful artists to our open-call shows will be expected to pay a small fee, which is outlined in each open call. This fee will go towards our gallery rent, power and invigilation costs as well as the creation and distribution of any promotional material. In return we don't charge commission for sales, less a 10-20% fee for bank and admin charges (depending on the exhibition). We also don't charge any artists that are unsuccessful, meaning that all our opportunities are free at the point of entry.
