We are excited to invite artists working across mediums of painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, and jewellery to submit to our upcoming open exhibition!
Each artist can submit a maximum of 3 artworks, with an entry fee of £10 per artwork. To apply, please bring your work to the gallery between 11-4pm on the 14th November along with your application form and fees.
❗️Please see the application form linked in our bio for detailed information on applying and exhibiting!
Not only do you get to exhibit in a gallery steeped in St Ives history, other benefits would include:
🌼MEMBERSHIP: The opens are great for establishing yourself in the local art scene and familiarising your work with those who will be selecting new members at the end of the year. It's a great chance for people to get to know you and an additional chance to show your work off before the next membership selection.
🌼COMMUNITY: It's a fantastic atmosphere during our opens with hundreds of artists involved. The private view is a great time to socialise with other artists exhibiting and working across Cornwall / the South West.
🌼VISIBILITY: With both our locality in the heart of St Ives, and the exhibition running until the new year, our Winter Opens get a lot of footfall and a great reception from visitors.
🌼SELLING: All artwork in the exhibition is available for sale, so it's a great chance to earn your entrance fee back
IMPORTANT DATES
Hand-in day will be on the 14th November (11-4pm) and the outcome of the selection process will be emailed to participants the following week, in time for the exhibition to open on Friday 20th November. We require any unselected work to be collected as soon as possible following the 20th November, but collection for any selected work will be on 2nd January 2027.
See you all soon!
