FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

My work involves printmaking along with other mediums – will it be eligible?

Work involving other mediums is accepted eg. mixed media, collage, hand painting. However, this is a printmaking exhibition therefore the predominant element of the work needs to be printmaking.

 

Is there a size limit for works?

We do not specify a size for works. If you are considering submitting a work which may cause problems in terms of hanging space or logistical issues such as it fitting through the gallery door upon delivery,

email info@re-printmakers.com with specific details before you apply. We can confirm whether it is feasible or not for the exhibition if it were selected.

Obviously bear in mind that the selectors are aware of the limited space available in the gallery, so entering a very large work may put you at a slight disadvantage to getting your work selected.

 

Do you accept digital prints?

We do absolutely accept digital prints, as long as they are limited edition prints created using digital processes, not digital reproductions of another work.

Our definition is stated on our website /printmaking-explained/digital-printmaking/

 

I am submitting an artist’s book – can I submit more than one image to represent it?

Sorry, our submission system allows only one image per work entered, in cases like this please choose one image that represents the contents of the book for your online submission. State clearly in the medium that it is an artist book and the selectors will take this in to account.

 

What if my work is not suitable to be displayed framed?

We welcome alternative ways of displaying work, however, artists must make provisions for this in that the display method must be suitable for the work and a professional gallery setting. Any additional fixings that will be needed must be provided by the artist and full instructions given for the gallery hanging team.

Artists must be aware that any works not displayed framed, glazed and fitted with mirror plates will not be covered by the gallery insurance and so will be displayed at the artist’s own risk.

 

Can I submit work if I live abroad?

Yes! As long as you are willing to arrange transportation of your work to and from the designated delivery and collection locations in London should it be selected. We welcome applications from all artists wherever they are based.

 

Can I enter work on behalf of an artist who is no longer living?

I’m afraid we do not accept submissions from deceased artists, it is for contemporary artists only.
