The gallery welcomes proposals from artists of all disciplines and in any media except purely video or performance. I am particularly interested in work which is not only contextual but craft-based, aesthetic and or experiential/sensory; pieces which engage an audience in complicity and the critical gaze, rather than overwhelm with pure conceptual value or the ‘shock doctrine’ that seems to permeate so much of today’s youthful art.  Artists who seek to question space and the psychology of architectural space are particularly welcomed.

The shows generally run for 3-4 weeks with a preview night the night before, entry thereafter via appointment only. Artists will be responsible for private insurance of their work, the hang and take down, tools and materials, and collating a list of personal invitees for the openings. The gallery has an always-expanding database of private and professional contacts, and extensive public liability insurance. A full list of terms and conditions is available on request.

There is a £100 hire fee which includes photographic documentation (delivered on CD), overheads, usher staff and admin fees. 

Works can be offered for sale (subject to a 25% gallery commission). The space is privately run and only open to the general public via appointment.

Please send proposals of interest, along with an outline of your practice, a short artist biography and jpegs of current work, and an outline of how you conceive using the space. The main shed is 10’ by 6’ and the half shed, 5’ by 3’. Both spaces are weather proof and secure.

Viewing of the gallery space can be arranged prior to submitting a proposal.
