ENTER OUR ART SHOW 

We would like to invite you to reserve a space at the ART SHOE at Little Bentley Hall  Major Charity Garden Show in June 2019, which will be open all weekend.

Friday 31st May for Gala Preview Evening with Parachute Regiment Band Gin Fizz, Wine & canapes – 6pm-9pm

Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June 2019 from 10am – 5pm

We are expecting around 8,000 visitors to visit the event over the weekend.

We can offer artists either a 8’ x 4’ Display Board to display their artworks for £75 plus a 15% Commission on sales, or £20 per item for display plus commission. Sculptures are welcome.

We would be grateful if you could provide us with a short biography, and a list of the pieces you will be selling with the price of each piece at least 4 weeks before the show..

Setting Up

Ideally we would invite you to come to Little Bentley Hall between 9am and 3pm on Friday 31st May or on Thursday 30th May between 10am and 4pm to hang your own works if you are purchasing a Whole Board. Individual works should also be delivered at the same time and we will hang these. Please see the note on Security at the bottom of this letter. Your board will be labeled with your name. There will be help available for carrying, if required and to assist with hanging. Boards and hooks will be provided. The boards are 8’ X 4’ landscape .

So that we can ensure that someone is available to meet you when you arrive could you please give us an idea of the day and time you intend to hang your pictures.

ALL WORKS MUST HAVE NAME, TITLE, ADDRESS AND PRICE AFFIXED TO THE BACK.

Administration of sales

We would prefer to allow buyers to take away works when they are sold; so a supply of additional works to hang can be left with us to take the place of those sold, if you so wish (additional works will need to be documented with name and price as above). We will handle all the sales for you during the show, keeping careful records of each and every sale. Whilst Artists are most welcome to attend, they do not need to stay all weekend at the exhibition, or, indeed, at all, if they wish, except to collect their unsold works at the end of the show on Sunday evening after 5pm. We will send you the value of sold works less the 15% commission by the end of June 2019.

Security

The show organizers will do everything they can to ensure the safety and security of your work during the show. The marquee will be closed and secured during the closed hours of the show with extra security overnight on the Friday and Saturday nights. However, artists must be responsible for insuring against loss or damage to their works.

The Show will close at 5pm on Sunday 2nd  June and we ask that all unsold works are collected by artists by 7pm that evening. If that is not possible please contact us as soon as possible.
