Re-start - Goodbye 2020 and hello 2021.
Whilst we are still in the grasp of COVID-19, by late summer 2021 things will hopefully start to return to normal. Like all sectors, the art world has been hugely impacted and artists, in particular, have had little or no support from the Government.
With this in mind, we are launching our ‘re-start’ initiative. A rolling set of free to exhibit* art pop-ups will launch in late summer 2021.
The pop-ups will be in town centres around the UK. Following a call for artists, art submitted will be reviewed and chosen for exhibiting by our team of experts. All WAF members enjoy free submissions. Non-WAF members pay £10 per artwork for each submission.
The selected artist's work will be exhibited in the pop-ups for up to 14 days. There is no charge for exhibiting, but a 30% commission on sales will be deducted on all sales. Submissions will be a minimum of 3 pieces and a maximum of 5. We only accept original artworks, photography will only be accepted for unique prints.
A rolling set of pop-up art galleries will launch in summer 2021. The pop-up galleries will be in town centres and other sites around the UK. All the art exhibited will be available for sale to the general public and collectors.
Following a call for artists, art submitted will be reviewed and chosen for exhibiting by our team of experts.
