What you need to do now…
Preparing your work for exhibition
Framing
You will need to have your work framed. Frames must be professional quality and should be a simple design in monochrome wood – white, black or natural, with a white or cream coloured mount. Please note that the RWS reserves the right to refuse any poorly presented work. We cannot accept paintings in metal, plastic or clip frames. All work must be glazed. Non-reflective or tinted glass is not permitted. Paintings must not exceed 100cm x 100cm when framed.
Mirror-plates
Please supply your painting with mirror-plates fitted to the side of each frame with a pair of screws. You should put bubble wrap or card around the mirror-plates to prevent damage during transit.
Labelling
Clearly label each painting on the front and back with your name and the title of the work. The label on the back should be affixed securely. The label on the front of the painting will be removed once it is hung on the wall, so please do not use sticky labels; instead secure a piece of white paper to the picture’s edge using small pieces of masking or magic tape, which are easy to remove without damaging your frame or marking the glass. We would prefer labels to be typed, but if this is not possible, please print clearly in block capitals.
Insurance
Works submitted for exhibition remain at all times the liability of the artist. While every care will be taken when handling works, neither the Gallery nor the RWS can accept liability for any damage. Artists should therefore arrange adequate insurance against the loss or damage of their works both in transit and whilst at the Gallery or collection venue.
Delivering your work to Bankside Gallery
Please deliver your framed paintings unwrapped and clearly labelled to Bankside Gallery on Sunday 19th or Monday 20th February between 11am and 6pm. Work cannot be accepted on any other date and will not be accepted through the post. You may arrange for a representative or professional art handler to deliver the paintings to Bankside Gallery on the specified send-in dates on you behalf.
