Our first priority is the safety of our staff, exhibitors and visitors and we will continue to follow the most up-to-date advice from the Scottish Government and react accordingly.
It is important to note that we may be required to make amendments to the exhibition as currently planned if new restrictions are introduced. We will continue to keep our website and regulations updated to reflect the most current restrictions on the run up to this exhibition and we thank you for your understanding in these circumstances.
 

ARTWORK DETAILS

Applied art is not accepted. No work made from ivory or in any way involving the use of ivory will be accepted.
 

PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL
While we are excited to be returning to a physical exhibition this year we want to build on the successes of the online experience forced upon us during Covid-19 which enabled more works to be selected and extended the ways for audiences to discover and engage with artworks through the digital experience.
For this reason we have decided that all pre-selected works will automatically be included in the online exhibition and only those selected at the final physical selection will be shown on the gallery walls.
There is also the opportunity to submit work as a solely online presentation by selecting YES to 'My work is solely an online presentation' during the application process. These works will only be considered for online selection and open up an opportunity for more experimental practices, for example documentation of installed site-specific work or extended digital video content.

Works which cannot be mirror plated must be delivered with instructions for hanging and any specialist fittings that their weight or particular materials require. Work with inadequate or unstable frames may be rejected on these grounds. Clip frames will not be accepted.

PRINTS
Original prints are encouraged; however reproductions of existing artworks in other media will not be accepted. If further works from an edition are available, please note the framed and unframed prices and number available for sale on the online application form.

SCULPTURE/MODELS
Plinths/shelves for 3D work must be supplied with the work on the hand in days or the work will be rejected. Plinths must be stable and an appropriate size for the work. The RSA reserves the right to paint plinths unless expressly prohibited by the architect. Works whose stability, materials or method of construction could present a hazard to the viewing public may be rejected on these grounds. Works with moving parts or utilising electrical/mechanical elements must comply with health and safety regulations and be PAT tested. A composite work must be accompanied by clear instructions for assembly.

ELECTRONIC MEDIA
For the purpose of selection, architects working in film or digital media should submit a link to Vimeo, YouTube, or other suitable website during the submission process for the selection panel to view their work online.
Pre-selected architects must supply all electronic AV equipment (and plinths/shelves if necessary) with set up instructions for the exhibition unless otherwise stated by the RSA. All equipment must be PAT tested.

SALE OF WORK
All works should be for sale. All sales made from the exhibition are subject to 40% commission + VAT (charged on the amount of commission only). Artists registered for VAT must enter their VAT number on the online submission form and sales will then be subject to 40% commission including VAT. The price of work shown on the online submission form and labels is the total price payable by the purchaser, the RSA will not add on commission costs for you.

Where editions of works (prints, sculptural casts, etc.) are available for sale, artists are asked to enter the appropriate information (framed and unframed prices, number in edition, number available for sale) on the online submission form. The artist will have to arrange for the framing and delivery of any additional framed prints sold (the RSA will not charge commission on the framing premium).

Any private sale of the work (including editions) must immediately be intimated to the Gallery Manager, otherwise a sale made through the RSA shall have precedence. No editions of works should be sent by the artist to a purchaser until the RSA has confirmed that the price has been paid in full. In addition, any private sale made out with, but as a direct result of, the exhibition should also be acknowledged, whereupon the relevant commission will be charged.

By submitting work, unless contacted by the architect in writing to say otherwise, the architect grants the RSA permission to photograph and/or film the submitted works for press and marketing purposes, including the right to free reproduction for any catalogue, poster, website or other non-commercial promotional material in connection with the exhibition.

CARE OF WORKS
If a work is lost, damaged or destroyed during the exhibition period, the Gallery shall notify the architect immediately and shall be liable to pay the architect the agreed selling price less the agreed commission. Works shall be insured whilst at the Gallery premises only. No insurance cover will be given to works while in transit to or from the Gallery or after the stated collection dates.

Fragile works must be appropriately labelled and unframed mounted prints/photography must come with corner protectors. Unframed 2D works and works of a temporary or ephemeral nature will remain at the risk of the architect and will not be covered by insurance.

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.

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 oversize work and for work submitted by overseas artists, as supplied by a framer, and it must of good display quality and be free from scratches and be as scratch resistant as possible. Artglass or similar which minmises reflections is acceptable.

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 and will be disposed of after one week. 

Agreement
By submitting to the exhibition you are deemed to accept and agree to the following:
The decision of the Selectors on all matters Is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
I understand that The Organisers reserves the right to make such changes to the exhibition arrangements and these Terms & Conditions as may be deemed necessary by circumstances.

• For 3D work, it is important to fix a label to the base of your work. If it is not possible to use a large label with all of the information included above, then a clearly readable name and telephone number will suffice. In addition, a luggage type label with all the contact details, as above, tied onto string securely looped over the work would also be helpful. These stringed labels will be removed if the work is accepted into the gallery.

Sales & Payments:

• There will not be a facility to purchase artwork online via the Victoria Art Gallery website this year

Additional Information:

The copyright and all other intellectual property rights to works, will remain the property of the artist and any enquiries in relation to such rights will be referred to the artist. The Exhibition organisers have the right to copy and/or reproduce works submitted and to communicate and/or issue such copies to the public in connection with the exhibition, for advertising the sale of artworks, for general marketing or promotional purposes, and other related activities, including without limitation, the incorporation of images of artworks within promotional and marketing materials, catalogues, posters, or on Exhibition organisers websites and any social media site now known or hereafter devised.

Images:

• If taking the photo yourself rather than using a professional photographer, take the photo in natural light (but not in direct sunlight – an overcast day is best if taking the photo outside) without using a flash and square on to the work. Ideally, use simple photo editing software to crop any background and frame. For three-dimensional work please take against a plain background or alternatively take a short video.

• The upload time of images may take a little time depending on your internet speed, so do give it time. If you are having problems uploading your images please resize your image to approximately 1600 pixels wide and then save as a new file. Image file names should not be too long and should not contain any invalid characters such as + = & “ ‘ etc.

Collaborative work:

• Collaborative artwork will be listed in the catalogue according to the surname of the first named artist.
• Each collaborative work submitted counts as one entry for each artist involved.
• A submission fee is payable for each collaborative work

Digital:

• Digitally generated works are admissible and may be presented in print form. We are not presently in a position to accept photography, performance, or video works.
• Editions of digitally generated prints are allowed in the same way as any other kind of print media eg lino, etching etc.  These prints should be executed using light fast archival pigment-based inks on high quality paper.
• Prints made with standard dye-based inks will not be accepted, because they fade very quickly.
• It must be stressed that we will not accept serial or singular reproductions of finished paintings, illustrations, or drawings. Specifically this refers to paintings, illustrations or drawings which have been photographed with the intention of selling an edition of reproductions of that original.
• Neither will it be acceptable to make a minor adjustment to an original painting, drawing or collage in order to enter it as a digital work.
• We acknowledge that any digital process requires a starting point and to this end, such works will inevitably contain elements of photography or scanned drawing, painting, or collage. The main emphasis of the work must be on the subsequent digital process in order for it not to be assessed as a reproduction of an original generated in other media. The only exception to this would be where an original work, sculpture, or painting, is photographed and the original is intentionally destroyed as part of a genuine creative process, such that the digital record is the only way in which the work exists. In this case, the individual work will be reviewed by the committee and each case considered on its own merits.
• Collaborative digital artworks may also be submitted under the same guidelines.
• The selectors’ decision in all regards will be final.
