Following on from the success of last year we are planning to hold
another Art Exhibition alongside this event displaying work with a
floral theme.  This is a one day exhibition with set up and take down on
the day. All work should be 2 dimensional and for sale. We are
considering whether to expand the exhibition to include 3 dimensional
work/craft so long as it is of a floral nature – if you would like to be
considered for this please contact us ASAP. We would welcome help with
stewarding and the set up and take-down but we are not planning for this
to be a requirement for entry.

There will be a charge to cover the cost of mounting the exhibition. 
This will be around £10-15 per screen and £3-5 per picture. Commission
of 10% will be taken on sales and will go to support projects in the
park.  You will have the opportunity to request more than one screen or
to exhibit individual works. Screens have 1m wide by 1.5m high hanging
space.

Entry will be subject to selection based on subject matter. To move to
the next stage Artists should submit at least two images of floral work
they plan to exhibit or of equivalent examples if work is in progress.
This should be sent to bppflowershowart at gmail.com by Friday 24 May –
earlier if possible. Images can be digital files or links to websites
etc. as preferred.

An early indication of your intention to take part would be very much
appreciated. If you have already responded there is no need to reply
again. Please also indicate if you are planning to request a screen or
to submit individual works.  

The Organisers will contact successful candidates once work has been
reviewed or at the latest by the Sunday 2 June provided work is
submitted before 24 May. We are intending to hold some interim
evaluations so if you can provide the images earlier then we can confirm
acceptance earlier.


We are in the process of finalising the details of the exhibition

family/friends to do this on your behalf. Also please be aware that due
