Summer Exhibition

During the summer holiday I managed to spot an exhibition in the community pharmacy gallery in Margate, they were asking for people to submit work for this with the theme being seaart.
I approached the lady in the gallery and asked for information on how to submit some photographic work, she gave the e-mail address (thanet_coast@thanet.gov.uk).

I had only a week to submit work before the deadline of 21st july 2007.

I had to fill out and sign a form titled the terms of agreement for artists, I had to give my name,address,phone number,emailand a short biographical.

upto 6 photographic images of any size were permitted to be submitted.

I did 4 and they were all accepted. They were put on display in the old lifeboat look out in broadstairs. non sold!

The exhibition was on from the 4th august to the 27th august.

I did not have any control on how the images would be displayed or where, the conditions in the gallery were rather damp and crinkled the photographs, I was very dissapointed.

I have learnt from this experience and will try and have more input the next time I exhibit.

They take a commission of 30% on any sales.
