Franklins Art Gallery Spring Exhibition

31^st March – 6^th May 2012

We are delighted to announce our Spring Exhibition is looking very good already. We have changed things slightly for this exhibition. We will be running for 6 weeks, with lots of events running alongside the Gallery at weekends.

Franklins still runs on the same principle, as when we opened, it is an Art Gallery for the people, and we encourage all mediums, styles, sizes and prices. Franklins likes to be able to offer an array of Artwork to the public. What is Art??? The big question asked by many, visiting Franklins opens the eyes to all types. We are not judge and Jury, our last 5 exhibitions proved this, we had Original Artwork from £30 - £5000. Something for everyone – that is our aim.

Again, we will have wonderful sculptures and handmade products for sale within the Gallery, we will be serving wonderful coffee and will have events going on throughout the Gallery.

We have Brian Smith penciled in for a Demo and a couple of Workshops, we also have Roy Lang booked in to do the same. We have an Antique Charity Art Auction and a Charity New Art auction. We also have a couple more events that are being organized and will be announced shortly.

For those of you who have visited the Gallery you will know that the Gallery is set into bays, for the Spring Exhibition we are renting space by the wall, so you can either hire a wall for yourself for the 6 weeks or get together with fellow artists and share the costs, or if you are part of an Art Society or Network, rent the wall through the society and share the space.

The artwork on the wall can be changed as many times as you want in the 6 weeks, use your space to its full potential.

If you hire a wall either on your own or through an Art Society always make sure you have a biography about yourself, many buyers like to read about the artist they wish to invest in, come to the Gallery and carry out demo’s, promote yourself within your local media to state that you will be exhibiting, state any competitions you have won, the more you do the more interest your artwork will receive. At Franklins we will be advertising the Spring Exhibition extensively, the more information we have from you the more we can promote via our website and advertising.

The Gallery will be open Thursday – Sunday for 6 weeks.

Each wall costs £150.00 + Vat for the 6 weeks period. Each wall will have one invoice against it so if you do wish to share with friends; you must nominate a person to deal with the invoicing.

We do not take any commission, so all sales are direct to you, we will obviously work your walls for you when the Gallery is open, we will take payments on your behalf. If it is cheque it will be written out to the Artist, once the cheque has cleared the painting can then be taken away, cash would go directly to the Artist, if a customer wishes to pay via card we do have the facilities but their would be a charge for this service.

Please let us know if you are interested in booking a wall for our Summer Exhibition as the wall spaces are filling up fast!
