Freedom Sensation
Art Exhibition
10th May to 20th May 2012
I am looking for submissions from jewelers, glassmakers and wood/stone carvers/work (I'm open to all media other than painting and sculpture) who would like to join this show 'Freedom Sensation 2012' in May in the wonderful location of Lyme Regis at the large bright and airy Town Mill Malthouse (TMM) - a popular arena for regular art exhibitions that attract many holiday goers and local interest.
Please take a look at my website to see my work, so that you can decide if you think your work would fit before you send me anything via email.
Application Requirements
• All jewelry, glasswork and woodwork are accepted. All work must be original; no reproductions of original work may be submitted.
• Please provide a link to your website and/or six .jpeg files of your work, no bigger than MB each.
• Provide a biography and how you approach your work.
• All selling prices of your work.
• Reasons you feel you'd like to exhibit at this show at this time.
Deadlines
• I have extended the deadline so please send all submissions to me by email.
• Notification will be given by email only.
• In the event that I need to meet or speak with you to make a decision I will contact you by phone, so please provide me with daytime telephone numbers so that I can contact you at any time to make arrangements.
Sale of works
• All works submitted, with the exception of commissioned items, must be for sale. Please make a note of any commission in your email.
Submission fees
• There is no submission fee; however the two successful artists will need to pay a quarter of the costs towards the hire of the venue and any advertising, private view costs - which will be in the region of £18 per day each.
Insurance
• Reasonable care will be taken of works sent for exhibition. However, all work is submitted at your own risk. Myself or the TMM will not be responsible for any loss or damage. I cannot pack or unpack work on delivery or collection by you, the artist, a representative or a carrier. All transport costs are the responsibility of the artist. Myself or the TMM does not insure work on the premises or in transit. Artists are strongly advised to insure their work against damage and theft.
Condition of submitted work
• When submitting glassware or carvings, please consider the health and safety implications of displaying the work in a public place. Please ensure floor and plinth-based works are stable. Works must be of a size that will be able to be lifted comfortably by two people.
Submission and collection
• The TMM Gallery will be available to us from 11am on 9th May 2012. This gives all exhibitors time to arrange the setup of the Gallery and make final arrangements for the Private View.
• No works can be taken from the TMM Gallery before 5.45pm on Sunday 20th May 2012, unless the works are sold.
• All unsold must be taken away by the artists by 3pm on Monday 21st May 2012. A storage penalty charge of £10.00 per item per week, or part week, will be charged for work delivered early or not collected on the stated dates. If you are unable to collect your work on the specified dates you are welcome to arrange for another artist or courier to do so on your behalf.
Photography
• The artist accepts and agrees that works in the exhibition may be photographed and/or reproduced for the catalogue, press, publicity, promotion and advertising for the Exhibition and/or its activities, including any website publicity.

Workshop Ideas
The gallery is quite a big space. Should you wish it will be possible to discuss ideas for Workshops to be run during the exhibition so please bare this in mind.
Stewarding
It is always best for all artists to be available at the Gallery during the whole exhibition. However, sometimes this is not possible and a rota will need to be worked out. You will be expected to be present for the Private view and will be required to be available for stewarding the exhibition for a minimum of a total of 4 days during the exhibition - being divided into half days if necessary. Please indicate that this is possible in your application.
Presentation
The gallery has 4 tables available to use, so Jewelers will need to provide their own display cases and should you require plinths you will need to bring your own.
Where to send your application:
Please send your application to me via email at liz@lizshewan.com. Should you wish to send me your application via snail mail please contact me and I will provide you with an address to send it to.
I am really looking forward to this show. It is a busy time of year in Lyme, and the exhibition space really shows work off well. If you have any further questions, please ask me via email.
I look forward to hearing from you all.
