Open 21

The exhibition is open to anyone, of any age, who lives or works in East or West Sussex. Both professional and amateur artists are welcome to enter but all work must be no more than two years old.

Up to 3 pieces of work can be entered per person.  We accept both 2D and 3D work but 3D work must be free standing or wall mounted.  There is limited availability to provide a power supply for exhibits and any entries requiring this must be PAT tested.

Entry forms can be submitted between Monday 14 June and Friday 10th September. No entry forms can be accepted after Friday 10th September.

The entry fees are £5 per work for artists aged 18 and over, and £4 per work for under 18’s. Payment is online only.

Your work must be clearly labelled on the back (or suitable place) with your name and the title of the work.  THE NAME AND TITLES ON YOUR LABELS MUST BE THE SAME AS THE NAME AND TITLE GIVEN ON THIS E-FORM. We cannot accept any work that does not have your name and title on it.  

All wall mounted work must be framed or suitably backed so that a mirror-plate screw fixing can be attached.  We cannot accept work mounted in clip frames or aluminium frames.  All other fixings must be removed.

Any work exceeding 1 metre square is unlikely to be accepted due to space restrictions.  Work must also be movable by no more than two people.

All work must be unpacked on delivery.  There are no facilities to store packaging.

All work must be given a value whether it is for sale or not. Work selected for the exhibition will be insured using the sale value. (if you do not wish to sell you work you can select NFS when filling out the relevant section of this form)

We cannot insure work that is not selected for the exhibition, so it will not be insured prior to selection.

Sale prices should include a museum commission rate of 40% + VAT (vat charged on commission only).  If your work is sold a deduction of 48% is made to account for commission + VAT.  Prices cannot be altered later.

All work must be delivered/collected on the correct collection days.  There will be a storage charge of £5 per item per week if anything is not collected. Work will be disposed if not collected after 6 weeks.

No liability will be accepted for works not selected for the exhibition.  Artists should visit www.wtm.uk to find out whether work has been selected or whether they need to collect their work if unselected.

Details cannot be altered once submitted so please ensure the correct information is given on this form. 

All artists who submit work will be invited to the launch event on Friday 1st October 6-8pm.  You can collect an invitation when you deliver you work.
