Ferens art gallery is a gallery close to where i live, once every year it has an exhibition called "Open Exhibition" in which the gallery in open for any artist to submit work too. Most being begining artists such as students.
What i liked about last years gallery exhibition is the range of work included, having sculptures, drawings and paintings which all held different theories and practices. For example work that was included in last years gallery included abstract paintings on wood, sewn rabbits on clothes hangers, prints and landscapes.
For this years Open exhibition I took an entry form, showing how the enter the gallery and what kinds of art would be accepted.
It showed how artwork would be put on the gallery walls, giving diagrams with correct framing, what frames to used and what the gallery use's to put work up, called mirror plates.
The entry form gives information such as:
- who can enter?
- how many works can you enter?
- how much does it cost?
- how do you enter?
- how will the works be selected?
- how will you know if your work has been selected?
- how do i present your work?
- commission?
- is your work insured?
The entry form also let's you know that you can win prizes for your artwork and that you can sale your artwork, with a commission of 25%. After looking into this i might enter into the gallery to start getting my artwork and practice out there, not for the prize or to sell but just to see who likes my art and let people see my art.
