In early May we send out an Open Call to all artists in Devon & Cornwall to participate (excluding photography).
It’s free to enter work, 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.
