Open Call

In early May we send out an Open Call to all artists in Devon to participate (excluding photography).

All work must be original and for sale. It’s free to enter, with a £10 submission fee per artist if successful. There is 25% commission on all sales at the exhibition with all money donated to RNLI Appledore.
There is no minimum number of pieces of artwork required, however we ask for a maximum of 4 paintings and 5 prints per artist and size of framed artwork should be no larger than 75 x 75cm.
