DELIVERING YOUR WORK

 

UK ARTISTS:

Selected works are to be delivered to Ground Floor, 23 Blue Anchor Lane, Bermondsey, London SE16 3UL on Friday 30 or Saturday 31 October 11am - 5pm.  No works will be accepted at Bankside Gallery.

 

  • Bermondsey is the nearest tube station (Jubilee Line) and 10 minutes walking distance to 23 Blue Anchor Lane. Parking is free on Blue Anchor Lane, but not plentiful. There is also a National Rail Station at South Bermondsey, which is serviced by Southern. Check www.tfl.gov.uk for maps, buses and travel updates.
  • You will be asked to unwrap your prints and take any packing material away with you.
  • If you are planning to use an art courier to deliver your prints, we recommend:

Picture Post (info@picturepostcompany.co.uk / 07833 450 788)

Art Moves of Chelsea (artmoveschelsea@aol.com / 020 7352 7492)

 

  • Work will not be accepted if delivered by taxi, Royal Mail, FedEx, DHL etc., as 23 Blue Anchor Lane do not have specialist art insurance, nor can they unwrap works and remove packaging. Artworks delivered in this way directly to 23 Blue Anchor Lane will not be hung in the exhibition and will be disposed of immediately. There can be no exceptions to this rule.  Please liaise with Picture Post who can receive works from non-art couriers and then deliver it to Bankside Gallery for an additional fee. No work will be accepted if delivered to Bankside Gallery directly from the artist/artist's representative.

  • Picture Post can provide schedules and prices for receiving your work from abroad and delivering it to Bankside Gallery. This is not a service that Bankside Gallery can offer.
  • Work will not be accepted if delivered by taxi, Royal Mail, FedEx, DHL etc., as 23 Blue Anchor Lane and Bankside Gallery do not have specialist art insurance, nor can they unwrap works and remove packaging.

Artists are advised to get in touch with Picture Post as soon as possible. The hand in dates are for work arriving to the gallery rather than the date to arrive with Picture Post. Please also bear in mind, due to Brexit there have been long delays in Customs, so artists may need to send works earlier than they normally would. Plus, there is now the potential of Customs Charges for artists in the EU.

 

  • Artists shipping work from outside the United Kingdom are fully responsible for compliance with UK customs and tax requirements.
