How to Submit
There is a non-refundable submission fee of £15 per one artwork and £10 for each additional piece. When you return your form to us, your submission is only considered completed once the correct payment for your entry has been received. Your Application Form must be completed and submitted strictly in accordance with the instructions provided on the form and within these Terms and Conditions. Failure to do so will mean that any work submitted may be inadmissible and will be withdrawn from the selection process for the exhibition.
You’ll receive a PDF form to fill in once the submission fee is processed. You can also use the online form (link at the bottom).
Selection process
The artworks for the Spring Tide exhibition will be chosen by the open call selection committee. Selected artists will be informed on May 7th. Please be advised that if any selected works arrive damaged, have unacceptable framing, differ in size from the original submission, or do not match the online presentation, they will be withdrawn. In such cases, the artist will need to collect their work from Magan Gallery at their own expense. The decision of the selection committee is final, and we regret that we are unable to provide feedback on submissions. Thank you for your understanding. Magan Gallery reserves the right to withdraw a work from the exhibition if, for any reason, the work or its display circumstances appear to expose Magan Gallery to potential reputational damage or legal issues. Both successful and unsuccessful candidates will be notified via email.
Commission
A commission of 35% will be applied to all sales; please incorporate this into your pricing.
Insurance and Liabilities
While we will take the utmost care with your artwork, MAGAN GALLERY cannot accept liability for any loss or damage. Artists are encouraged to arrange their own insurance for submitted works during the exhibition.
Sales of Artworks
Sales will be processed through a secure payment system. Once a sale is confirmed, the artist will receive payment upon receipt of an invoice. Should you sell your work, you are welcome to replace it with another piece of a similar size.
