- The aim of the exhibition is to showcase, promote and celebrate recent original work by local artists.
- There is no competitive element.
- The Green Man Gallery will promote the exhibition and the artists involved however exhibiting artists are also expected to promote their work and the exhibition to their own networks and on websites/social media in order to increase footfall and make the most of this opportunity.

- Exhibiting artists must be over 18.
- The exhibition is for original 2D or 3D work in any medium that is suitable for exhibition at The Green Man Gallery.

Please submit your work anyway and we will let you know shortly after 1st March whether we can include it. Very large work may have to count as two submissions. Larger work will generally be exhibited upstairs as the ground floor exhibition space is limited by the siz of our display screens.
- Maximum 2 submissions per person, depending on size. We may only have room for one piece if your work is very large. Small pieces of work (2D and 3D) which can be displayed in a group may count as one submission. We will advise you in our acceptance email.
