Exhibition space at the Shire Hall Gallery!
The Shire Hall Gallery is looking for artists to show their work in an exhibition space located in the Balcony Coffee Bar. This is a great opportunity for local and regional artists to exhibit work. We also hope that Gallery and Coffee Bar visitors will find the exhibitions a refreshing addition to our exhibition programme.
Exhibitions will last from 4 - 8 weeks and the Shire Hall Gallery will be responsible for all publicity to advertise your exhibition. Work must be framed, mirror plated and all for sale. We have three exhibition display boards to accommodate work, two at 3 × 4 ft and one 3 × 6 ft so images must be relatively small scale. The artist will be responsible for the delivery and collection of work.
If you would like your work to be considered for a Coffee Bar Exhibition, please send good quality images of your work, CV, artist statement and wholesale prices to Lyndsey Catchpole, Exhibitions Assistant, Shire Hall Gallery, Market Square, Stafford, ST16 2LD. Telephone 01785 278345 or email lyndsey.catchpole@staffordshire.gov.uk
