We welcome applications from three dimensional artists (ceramics, glass, sculpture, textiles, jewellery etc. We will hang as many pieces of work as we have space for, but aim to display an average of 6 pieces of work for each applicant, but please be aware, to be fair to all, this is also dependent on the size of artwork. Remaining works will be kept in the holding area and hung as works are sold. *Please note, many of our buyers are not local so may want to take the works away as they are sold. In this instance, where possible we will replace with the same artists work.
