Apply now to exhibit in our first curated exhibition of the Year - JOY

Apply now for our first specially themed and curated exhibition of 2025, taking place in our Artisan Gallery, 13th - 26th March 2025.  The theme is 'Joy'.  This time, we are aiming to engage our visitors further by asking them to contribute their thoughts on joy, with the potential of winning a prize...

"What brings you joy?  In this specially curated exhibition, up to nine local artists show us what joy means to them, and hope to uplift visitors with their interpretations across a range of mediums.  Visit our Artisan Gallery and absorb the joyful mood created by our artists.  Make an entry into our 'Box of Joy' to tell us what brings you joy - the most uplifting answer judged at the end of the exhibition will win a voucher for The Station Shop and two free tickets to The Station Cinema." 

We welcome applications from artists who have a body of work that connects with this theme, in any medium.

The Artisan Gallery will be divided into seven ‘mini galleries’, plus two cabinets, for up to nine artists to be part of the exhibition.  The exhibitors themselves determine the number of pieces they exhibit within their hired section. 

With hire fees at just £50 - £75, this is an excellent opportunity for artists to showcase a compact body of their work without taking on the commitment of organising a solo exhibition, while still creating a larger impact alongside the other participating creatives.

If you would like to apply please CLICK HERE to read the information and terms document, then CLICK HERE to complete the short online form. Applications close at midnight on Wednesday 8th February.

Please note - applications will not be accepted for work that can't be shown to be appropriate to the theme of 'Joy' - it is up to you to use the section on the form to explain how your 'mini exhibition' will fit in.  It doesn't have to be totally overt  - it can be more abstract and subtle - but there must be a tangible connection.  

If you have any questions about the exhibition please contact our Gallery Manager Sarah by email - gallery@thestation.co.uk
