Funded & Curated Exhibition Opportunities

Each year Skyway Gallery supports a small number of exhibitions as part of its funded and curated programme. These may be offered through application or invitation and are intended for work that fits with the gallery’s artistic educational or community aims.

Please contact us for Funded & Curated exhibition application criteria.

For these exhibitions:
The gallery may be provided free of charge
Commission on sales may not apply
Additional support may be available depending on the project
These opportunities are limited and sit outside the standard hire programme.

Anyone can apply to exhibit

Please send an email with some sample images and/or outline details to curator@skywaygallery.org. Make sure to include a short description of your exhibition or event and your preferred date.

The curator will then contact you regarding your application.

Skyway Gallery is a shared public space and therefore has guidelines as to what can be exhibited. All decisions regarding the gallery are at the discretion of the curator.

Hanging and displaying your work

A full list of display information will be provided to you at the time of your application... but here are a few fundamentals

Hanging pictures

For pictures to be hung on our STAS hanging system, the frames must have D-rings securely attached to the back.

Each artwork should be clearly labelled on the rear of the work with name of artist and name of the work. (please don’t use post-it notes for this!)

Creating your display information

Please ensure that every piece of work has a clear display label with information, including the title, medium, price, and the artist’s name.

We would recommend that artists write a bit about themselves and what motivates them to make art.

IMPORTANT: Exhibitors must use specific reusable glue dots to prevent damage to the walls. Blu or white TAC must NOT be used.

Plinths and display cases

Skyway Gallery has a selection of plinths and floor standing display cases.

Suggested labelling layout

Skyway Gallery are grateful to their sponsors and community partners
