'Then and Now' our 60th Anniversary exhibition, details and dates for submissions
Dear FPS members and prospective new members, please see attached the
first draft of the exhibition information for our next show in
November.
The big change this year is the artist submission fees for the
exhibition as we can no longer afford to subsidise the exhibition fees to such
an extent for the venues we aspire to. Currently we are aiming to keep fees at
around £100 per artist per show, depending on venue and external revenue such as
sponsorship and merchandise.
For the next show 'Then and
Now' our 60th Anniversary exhibition, the fees will be around £100 for
approx 2m wide by 3m high wall space - based on 20 artists participating, plus
12m of window hanging space for suitable work and over 90m square metres of
floor space for sculpture.
This fee is still heavily subsidised and we will still be looking for
further sponsorship deals and commission sales from sales which
still stands at 30% plus VAT . (any sponsorship opportunities that
you know of will be gratefully received)
The first deadline is August 15th for everyone is to give me a
definitive yes or no to whether you wish to participate in the show. Once I have
this information I will be able to supply a more accurate figure with regards to
fees and what the competition for places will be.
And
then:
1st
September: Submission
of work – 6-10 images.
10th
September: One
image from each successful artist for promotion purposes including biog/statement info for the exhibition
catalogue.
19th
October: Final
Submission of all proposed work.
I'm
away until next Monday but please email me if you have any questions and I'll
reply on my return.
Cheers,
Gabriel
