Anyone is welcome to exhibit at Showborough but there are inevitably some conditions, which I list below. If you are interested in exhibiting in 2012 and still have questions after reading this page do feel free to contact me.
There is an entry fee of £15 per person. Entry fees are redistributed as prizes in the Affordable Garden Art Competition. There is no entry fee for students.
You may enter up to 3 exhibits. I regard one exhibit as occupying one space in the garden even if it is made up of several related, but physically separate, pieces.
Exhibits should not have been shown here before in the last two years.
The maximum sale price of any single exhibit is £3000.
There is no selection. Entries are accepted on a first-come basis and close when we have sufficient. The only exceptions are when most spaces have been allocated and there remain spaces suitable for some sculptures but not others.
All work must be suitable for showing outdoors, exposed to the weather.
All work will have to be delivered to Showborough by Friday 27th April and remain here until the exhibition closes on Sunday 17th June.
Your work will be insured by us for Third Party damage only during the exhibition. You will need to arrange for any other insurance you have to cover your work at this location while it is here.
We charge commission on sales of 10% because this is the figure that usually covers the direct costs of the exhibition, primarily publicity. Students do not pay commission.
It is the custom that exhibitors pay commission on all sales resulting directly from exhibitions, including follow-up sales, and I rely on exhibitors to do this. For sales during the exhibition I collect payment and forward it. Some buyers do not pay until they collect work at the end of the exhibition.
Works should not be available elsewhere, even direct from the artist, at a lower price than at the exhibition.
It is helpful to me if I have details of your exhibits at the time of entry - including size, material and description (ideally a photograph). If you are unable to provide this I will request full details before we close entries.
If you wish to enter please send: details of your entry; your name, address, e-mail and telephone number; a cheque for £15 payable to Andrew Roache, if applicable; all to - Andrew Roache, Showborough House, Twyning, Gloucestershire GL20 6DN.
From 8th December 2011 your name will be put on the waiting list rather than entered straight away. Once all the confirmed exhibitors have let me know exactly what they are bringing, I will be able to call some entries forward from the waiting list.
If you wish to know more before committing yourself contact me at roache@onetel.com or on 01684 296605.
