“Sheep Dog Trials”
Exhibition Opportunity 11th March - 24th April

The gallery’s biannual fun dog show.
The gallery has held a few “dog” shows now and we also have a strong customer base for animal related art. This time along with the dogs we are inviting sheep, hence the silly title!
So art work that is a dog or a sheep or anything related to dogs or sheep is wanted. We did have giant textile bones one year! This is a show which will be advertised in pet shops and vet practices to encourage customers who perhaps wouldn’t think about visiting a gallery.
Any medium either 2 or 3D and we have a large floor space and high walls so large images or art work can be accommodate. We did have a life sized leather moose in one of our windows!
Send images, short description of work and CV.

The gallery is looking for more artist made cards to offer our customers rather than purchasing commercial ones. If you have cards on any subject and you would like to sell them through, here let me know.
Do pass this on to other artists who may be interested, thanks
