Artists are advised to use plain, simple framing in a light or medium colour.
Metal frames, unprotected glass edges and clip frames are inadmissible.
Please remove all fittings and fixings from the back of frames, for example D-rings and picture wire. This is to prevent damage to other works, and because we will mirror-plate works for hanging.

Selection
The works for exhibition are selected by a committee formed of members of the Institute.
If selected works arrive damaged, with unacceptable framing, size discrepancies from the original submission, or not as shown online, these will be withdrawn and work will need to be collected from Mall Galleries by the artist at their expense.
The decision of the Selection Committee is final and we are unable to offer feedback.
Prize winning works are selected in time for the awards ceremony during the Private View, prior to the exhibition opening to the public.
Sales
All work must be for sale, except portraits.
Once work has been submitted, any sale made by the gallery before or during the course of the exhibition up to and including the collection day shall take precedence and supersede one made privately. Any private sale made in this period will incur the normal commission.
There is a minimum price per work of £500.
Unless otherwise advised, the gallery will charge a commission on the total price paid for works, including commissioned works, before, during, or as a result of the exhibition.
The price submitted should be the selling price, which should include commission, and is the price at which the work will be sold.
The price of works must include commission of 45% +VAT. If an artist is registered for VAT, then the VAT due on the selling price of works should be included in the price submitted.
Mall Galleries reserves the right to query the price of works.
The price of works may only be changed by written agreement between the artist and Mall Galleries.
You will be notified by Mall Galleries if your work sells.

Artists who are not resident in the UK but are resident in the EU or elsewhere are welcome to submit work. If your work is selected for the exhibition, you have a responsibility to register and account for UK VAT with H.M. Revenue & Customs.

The gallery is not responsible for any loss of, or any damage to, works entrusted to them.

Communications
All communication will be by email or via the online login process. Applicants will be required to login to see if they have been preselected. They will then need to print a label and a Data Protection Form which will be emailed to them. These should be delivered with the artwork if invited to physically submit the work. The decision of the Selectors on all matters is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Insurance
Artists are responsible for insuring their own work. All works accepted for exhibition will be displayed entirely at the artists' risk and organisers and the RSW will not accept liability for loss or damage occurring during the exhibition.
Delivery and Collection
Artists are responsible for the delivery and collection of their work at the Gallery. All packaging materials must be removed after delivery (no gallery storage is available for this) and brought back at collection.

A registration number will be required and specific time for delivery arranged.
International Artists
The RSW welcomes submissions from international artists, however there are additional considerations to bear in mind if you choose to submit from abroad. Please read the following information carefully before making your submission.
VAT REGISTRATION
All non-UK residents are classified as NETPs (Non-Established Taxable Persons) and must register with HMRC (HM Revenue + Customs) for a UK VAT number before they can before they can sell work in the UK. Registering for a UK VAT number can be done online at www.gov.uk/vat-registration/how-to-register.
If your work is pre-selected then please complete the registration as soon as possible. We must receive your VAT number, or a copy of your email from HMRC indicating the process is underway, by the time of the preselection hand in.
As stated in our Regulations, all work should be for sale, therefore, failure to supply a valid UK VAT number will lead to the rejection of work. Please note, it can take up to four weeks for the application to be processed so it is important to register as soon as you are pre-selected.
Further information on UK VAT registration and non-established taxable persons (NETPs) can be found at www.gov.uk/government/collections/vat-notices-numerical-order under the section ‘VAT Notice 700/1: should I be registered for VAT?’
If you have any questions about VAT please contact HMRC’s helpline on 0300 200 3700 (UK) or +44 2920 501 261 (abroad). The RSW is unable to provide any assistance with this process, all questions should be directed to HMRC.
DELIVERY & COLLECTION
If you are unable to hand in your pre-selected work(s) in person then you will need to send/ship them to a local courier who can deliver/collect your work(s) on the official collection days and adhere to all the specifications listed in our Regulations. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to source a courier and make arrangements directly with them.
Below is a list of couriers who have delivered to us in the past. Please note – the RSW is not affiliated with any couriers and it is at their discretion if they can assist.
UK/EUROPE
It is the artist’s responsibility to organise and pay for all shipping, declare the artwork on your international postage customs declaration form and pay any customs costs your country may impose; this also applies to the return shipping of your work.
The RSW will not be responsible for any damage sustained to work while in transit and we recommend you take out appropriate insurance.
PACKAGING OF WORKS
The Regulations state that all packaging should be removed from works before handed in on submission days.
We appreciate this may be difficult to arrange if delivering from abroad. Where possible a courier should be found who can do this on your behalf. If that is not possible please email the RSW Exhibitions Administrator (rswexhibitions@robbferguson.co.uk) in advance of your delivery and we will advise if we can do this for you.

Selection
The works for exhibition are selected by a committee formed of members of the Society.
The selection will be made entirely online and so the image of the work must be representative of the original work to ensure that a fair selection has been made.
The Society reserves the right to refuse any selected work that does not arrive on time, varies substantially from the image submitted or is poorly framed. If withdrawn, work will need to be collected from Mall Galleries by the artist at their expense.
The decision of the Selection Committee is final and we are unable to offer feedback.
The prize winning works are selected in time for the awards ceremony during the Private View, prior to the exhibition opening to the public.
Sales
All work must be for sale.
Once work has been submitted, any sale made by the gallery before or during the course of the exhibition up to and including the collection day shall take precedence and supersede one made privately. Any private sale made in this period will incur the normal commission.
There is a minimum price per work of £400.
Unless otherwise advised, the gallery will charge a commission on the total price paid for works, including commissioned works, before, during, or as a result of the exhibition.
The price submitted should be the selling price, which should include commission, and is the price at which the work will be sold.
The price of works must include commission of 45% +VAT. If an artist is registered for VAT, then the VAT due on the selling price of works should be included in the price submitted.
Mall Galleries reserves the right to query the price of works.
The price of works may only be changed by written agreement between the artist and Mall Galleries.
You will be notified by Mall Galleries if your work sells.

Overseas artists, if your work is sold at the exhibition you have a responsibility to register and account for UK VAT with HMRC. See our website for more information.
Measurements
You must provide the framed measurements of the work in centimetres. This is for inclusion in the catalogue, as well as to aid in the selection process and for planning the hang.
Communications
All communication will be by email or via the online login process. Applicants will be required to login to see if their work has been preselected; if so they will be asked to download and print their application details to be delivered with the artwork. Failure to do so could result in work being withdrawn from the exhibition.
Selection
The Selection Committee will select the works for the exhibition. The Selectors will consider all correctly completed submissions. The decision of the Selectors on all matters is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Final inclusion in the exhibition is at the discretion of the exhibition organisers and our curators.
Image Quality and Framing
It is very difficult to assess work from poor photographs so please submit scans or very good photographs to show your work at its best. Good results can be obtained with tablets and mobile phones, but take care to ensure that there is sufficient light (especially when the background appears as grey on a photograph), that the image is in focus, there are no reflections through glass, or bad angles from work being propped up.
The Selection Committee encourages artists to choose simple plain mounts and wooden frames (which can accommodate mirror plate fixings) that will not detract from the work or interfere with adjacent works in the exhibition; poor presentation may prejudice acceptance. Work framed with clips is not admissible.
Acrylic ‘glass’ may be used for oversized work and for work submitted by overseas artists, as supplied by a framer, and it must be of good display quality and be free from scratches and be as scratch resistant as possible. Artglass or similar which minimises reflections is acceptable.
Insurance
Artists are responsible for insuring their own work. All works accepted for exhibition will be displayed entirely at the artists' risk and organisers and the gallery will not accept liability for loss or damage occurring during the exhibition.
Delivery and Collection
Artists are responsible for the delivery and collection of their work at the Gallery. All packaging materials must be removed after delivery (no gallery storage is available for this) and brought back at collection. If applying from overseas, please consider how you will deliver to and collect work from the exhibition venue at the required times. Work not collected at the stated times will be subject to a daily charge of £10.
Exhibition Catalogue
All exhibitors will have their painting/s displayed in the catalogue for the show. SBA members only will be entitled to a catalogue free of charge when visiting the show on production of a membership badge.
