Submission guidelines for artists
Oriel Myrddin Gallery are pleased to receive information about the work of professional artists and craft makers from Wales, the UK and beyond. We hold an exhibitions programming meeting every 3 months – please contact the gallery to find out the date of the next submission deadline.
We usually present eight exhibitions per year.
As a general guide approximately 50% will have a craft and/or design bias and about 50% a fine art bias. About 50% of the exhibitions in any one year will represent Welsh artists/makers. At least two of these shows in any one year will be originated by the gallery. We usually present a mixed group selling show at Christmas .
