Submitting Physical Work  
All work must arrive at the gallery ready to be hung, with fixings provided. If we do not think it is robust enough to show we reserve the right to refuse it. Unfortunately we are not able to hang work from the ceiling. If you have hanging work you should contact us in advance on info@eastsideprojects.org to discuss.

Delivery and collection of art work. 
You are responsible for packaging your work, getting it to us on time, and taking it away. If posting work you must arrange return postage

Dates for physical work to arrive at Eastside Projects 
Work can be delivered on Tuesday 1st – Thursday 3 September, 11am-5pm and Friday 4 September, 10am – 12 midday (THIS IS A HARD DEADLINE, we cannot accept any work after this time)

Collection of physical work
Saturday 19th September, 5 – 6pm and Tuesday 22nd, Wednesday 23rd, Friday 26th September 11am – 5pm (THIS IS A HARD DEADLINE  – we do not have space to store work)

Submitting AV work

AV works will be shown on a showreel in the second gallery. Works must be no more than 10 minutes long.

Deadline for files to be transferred to Eastside Projects Monday 24 August.

Travel, Transport and Access Bursaries
We have set aside a budget of £1500 to help members with travel, transport and access costs if these are a barrier to participation.
– We anticipate travel and transport bursaries will be capped at £50
– Access costs will be additional, but are also likely to be capped at £50
– That said, ask for what you need. If the bursaries are over subscribed they will be allocated fairly across members, and according to need.

How to take part
