How to Make Your Submission...

Making a submission is free; selected artists will be required to pay for their space by way of an Exhibition Fee.
To make a submission please fill in the form below attaching 3 example images of your best works that will be available for sale at the exhibition along with the prices (each individual artwork shown at the fair must have a sales price between £50 - £2,000). If however you have a special artwork or Masterpiece that you would love to exhibit that is above the £2k threshold, then you may do so, as long as it is displayed with a special '£POA' label.
We would prefer that artwork provided below on the submissions form be kept available to sell at the fair as we will be promoting these works before the fair commences. Please note, you will be allowed to show more than just these three images, as long as they fit comfortably within your chosen space. Full details and guidelines will be provided upon acceptance.

If selected, your name and an example of your art will be featured on our website before and during the fair making sure any visiting collectors, gallery owners and buyers are already familiar with your art.

All chosen artists will be provided hanging space to display their artworks, a mention on our website including an example of your work, shared on our social media channels and be given helpful guidance via email whilst leading up to and throughout the duration of the event by the organisers.

We have a £10,000 marketing and promotions budget which brings in 1000s of art lovers, first time buyers, art collectors and investors. See our Blogs page for last year's statistics to help your decision making process.
Our experienced marketing team promotes our events in numerous London outlets and specialised publications. Once artists have secured their space for the fair, we continuously promote their work on numerous online outlets and on our ever-growing social media platforms where we currently have a combined total of over 30,000 Friends and Followers (via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).

Deadline
Artists are accepted on a rolling basis from May 2019 until the spaces have been filled, this process usually takes approx. 2 months, so it is never too early to make your submission!


We encourage artists to be present at the Private View and ask that either they or a representative are able to look after their space over the course of the weekend at the fair. Buyers and collectors come to our events to meet the artist or at least talk to someone who knows about their work, and we have found that artists who engage with our visitors are generally more likely to make multiple sales, receive commissioned work or be recruited by a gallery.

We have a 10% commission on all direct sales at our exhibition, along with the 2% for vat and 3% credit/debit card fees, meaning artists take 85% profit on all direct sales made at the fair. This shows whilst we have an incentive to make as many sales as possible to continue improving our exhibitions, we also want as many artists as possible to make a profit from our events. We also take all the hassle away from selling by taking payments at our payments desk for all sales made during the fair. In 2017, not including cards or prints, 60% of our exhibiting artists made sales of original artwork.

Some of our artists are exhibiting for the 1st time and often it is about gaining exposure for them, getting feedback, gaining new art contacts, being seen by galleries etc, and we believe that this payment system works for them and for those who have previous experience selling at art fairs.

Any art sales after the event, from artists' own websites or from commissioned work etc, artists will keep 100%.
