EXHIBITION REQUIREMENTS

All artwork must be submitted in a state that is completed, dry, and ready for installing.

The D-rings should be able to bear the weight of the artwork.

Photograph clip frames, a horizontal cord, or strand of wire are not acceptable. Due to the nature of our hanging system and for safety reasons, artworks without conforming hanging mechanisms will be excluded from the exhibition.

Plinths of various sizes are used for sculpture and the way that they are displayed is at the discretion of the gallery.

Please contact us if you wish to provide your own plinth or if you have unusual display requirements.
