PREPARING YOUR WORK FOR THE EXHIBITION       

                                                                                       

An exhibition of the selected prints will be held at Bankside Gallery from:

Thursday 5 - Sunday 15 November 2026.

 

  • There are no size restrictions on works you can submit. However, artists with extremely large works are advised to contact Bankside Gallery to discuss details prior to submitting to ensure we can accommodate this logistically.
  • Poorly presented prints or works that differ significantly from the photograph that was entered will not be displayed.
  • For your work to be insured against theft under Bankside Gallery insurance, your prints must be framed, glazed and fitted with mirror plates.  Other display options are accepted, BUT:
  • a)      there must be a compelling reason for the work to be displayed unframed
  • b)      work must be displayed in a way that is suitable for a professional gallery setting
  • c)      the alternative hanging method must be appropriate to the work
  • d)      you must provide all equipment for this hanging, eg, clips, magnets, shelves etc and clear instructions on the hanging of your work
  • e)      you must provide a safe and secure way in which the work can be safely stored, and also wrapped and protected if sold.
  • f)      you display these works at your own risk  
  • Please note -The entry system asks for a framed price as a mandatory field. If this is not applicable to your work, enter '0' in  these fields but then you MUST complete the image size fields instead. Works with no dimensions will not be  selected as we require size information to inform this decision.

Framing

Frames must be of a professional quality.  No clip frames or metal frames will be accepted.

Artists are responsible for costs involved with rectifying defective frames or mounting of works in the case of customer complaints regarding sold works for up to 12 months after date of sale.

 

Mirror-plates

Framed prints must be supplied with mirror-plates attached to each side of the frame with a pair of screws half way down from the top of the frame. Bubble wrap or card wrapped around the mirror-plates should prevent damage during transit.

All works are to be handed in unwrapped and will be transported in blankets. All works will be handed out unwrapped so artists will need to bring their own wrapping when they collect their work.

 

 

Labels

  • You will receive labels for your framed works via email if informed that your print has been accepted.  Please fill out the information with the SAME details of your name and title of work that you submitted online, and fix one to the front and one to the back of your work. This is so we can identify the work when it is screwed to the wall and label it correctly.
  • The label on the back should be fitted securely.
  • Please make sure the label on the front can be easily removed without leaving a sticky residue. A small piece of masking tape or Scotch "Magic Tape" is the best option for this. No sellotape or sticky labels please.

 

Insurance

The prints remain at all times the liability of the artist.  While every care will be taken when handling artworks neither Bankside Gallery, nor the RE, can accept liability for any damage.  

 

You may wish to insure your work against loss or damage while it is in transit or at the Bankside Gallery. Prints selected for exhibition will ONLY be insured at the venue (Bankside Gallery) throughout the duration of the exhibition, and once they are screwed to the wall with mirror-plates.

 

Copyright

The copyright of all works remains vested in the artist, but the right is reserved for Bankside Gallery and/or the sponsors of the exhibition to reproduce any of the prints in connection with the exhibition, and its publicity, free of charge. Any other enquiries regarding copyright will be referred to the artist.
