Selected and reserved works cannot be withdrawn after the submission and will be subject to commission payments if not provided by the delivery deadline.
Judging
Submitted works will be judged by a panel made up of members of the Artizan Team and partners. All work will be judged anonymously based on the provided images of the work and the title of the piece only. All decisions made by the judging panel are final.

Exhibited Work
Work Details
Individuals submitting work to an open exhibition at Artizan Collective CIC should send a short, up-to-date artist biography (around 250 words) before the commencement of the exhibition in an editable word document or as part of your submission form if requested. High quality images of the work to be exhibited, suitable for promotional purposes, must also be sent to Artizan Collective CIC via email or online file share within this time frame. Images must be provided with a minimum resolution of 300dpi and should be photographed with good lighting against a plain background. The file name for the images should allow the piece to be identified by the information on your form.
Artizan Collective CIC can arrange photography of work if required for an additional fee.
You are responsible for providing accurate information on your work including title, medium, any framing, price and dimensions for use in labels, marketing materials and online promotion.
Presentation
All work should be provided “exhibition ready” and clearly labelled for identification purposes. Where this involves framing work should be provided in high quality, clean and unmarked frames. Frames should be the correct size for the work, with no visible gaps around the edges or mounting area and the work should be securely fastened within. Works not in an open frame should be behind glass not Perspex.
Frames should have sufficient hanging provision as outlined below.
Artizan Collective CIC uses the STAS cliprail hanging system for wall displays. All work for exhibition should be delivered ready for display on our hanging system. The best form of attachment to the STAS cliprail hanging system is D-rings on the back of the work positioned within the top quarter of the piece and level on either side. These should be tightly secured so they do not spin when force is applied. If your work cannot have D-rings attached, you must inform Artizan Collective CIC of this and make suitable arrangements for an alternative method of display. Any work delivered without D-rings in the absence of separate arrangements will have D-rings attached at a charge of £5 per work. Where this is not possible, the work may not be hung.
Any canvas or other work under 3cm in depth should be presented framed. Where you believe this does not apply you should contact the gallery prior to making a submission.
All browser work must be wrapped and mounted.
Packaging
All work for exhibition at Artizan Collective CIC must be safely packaged to avoid damage and if you would like your work returned in its original packaging after the exhibition you should label the exterior of the packaging with your name and the title of the work and use non-damaging tape. If the original packaging cannot be used, artists should bring sufficient packaging to safely package their work at the end of the exhibition otherwise Artizan Collective CIC will charge for any packaging that we are obliged to provide. Artizan Collective CIC does not accept any liability for damage to work that has not been delivered safely packaged.
Pricing
Artizan Collective CIC will take the indicated commission on the call from all works sold through our open exhibitions with a portion of this sometimes being donated to a chosen exhibition charity. Prices provided in your submission form should be the on the wall price of the work, from which commission will be deducted by Artizan Collective CIC. If you are unsure how to price your work or how to calculate the commission, please contact Artizan Collective CIC.

By submitting your “Postcard Work” as part of your application, you confirm that Artizan Collective CIC will take ownership of this work if accepted to exhibition. “Postcard Works” will be used by Artizan Collective CIC as part of fundraising efforts for community arts interventions.

Photography
Where possible Artizan Collective CIC aims to take high quality photographs of all pieces displayed for promotion purposes and may use these images to promote your work or the work of the gallery after the exhibition you are participating in has finished. If you do not wish for your work to be photographed, you should notify the gallery at the same time as confirming your agreement to the rest of these terms. Due to the nature of open exhibitions, you can only opt out of having your work photographed as an individual piece; it may appear in general shots of the space or during photography of events and functions.

If you wish to use them for promotion of your work outside of this exhibition high resolution copies suitable for print and web promotion can be made available.

There is no obligation to directly appear in video content if you do not wish to, but your work may still be shown.
