Applying for an Exhibition

When to apply for an exhibition?
 
Draíocht’s next submission deadline is Friday 23 March 2012.
This is for work to be exhibited from March 2013 on wards.

What to include in your application?

You should include a covering letter, and an up to date CV. You should state when you are available or want to show your work. You should also include a description of the proposed exhibition, especially if it requires the gallery to be adapted, AV equipment, or any other special requirements. If possible you should also indicate if you are applying for the ground or first floor gallery. It is useful but not necessary to include a statement about your practice. Most importantly you should include between 8 and 16 good quality images of your work, either on slide, photograph or CD. Each slide or image should be clearly marked with your name. Colour laser copies are also acceptable.

How long does an exhibition last?
