I am an artist and I would like to exhibit, how can I?

We are grateful so many artists are interested in exhibiting with us. We have a lot of enquiries, we ask that all artists complete the following information, Artist Information Form, to go on our database. We try to get back in contact with everyone, however with such a small team this isn’t always possible. We are always interweaving new artists into our exhibitions, depending on theme and styles.

We advise that if you are in the area, please feel free to visit the gallery so you can have some understanding of the space and the works we exhibit.
