How to Apply

1. Read the Terms and Conditions

   Before you begin, please ensure you have read and understood all terms and conditions.

2. Prepare Your Photographs

    You will need:

  • At least three clear digital photographs of your work. 

  • Because we use a template, photos need to be nearly square. Please choose square images or crop them to a square before submitting. If images are not square, we will crop them as best we can, but we cannot fine-tune every photo. We strongly recommend checking that you are happy with your images before sending them.

  • One photograph of yourself

    These images should represent your work overall—they do not need to be pieces you plan to exhibit.
     If you would like more photographs included on your Artist Page, simply mention this on the application form.

     Tip: Bright, high-quality photos reproduce best in our brochure/map and on the website.

     Please email your images to Gaye, our website manager, at:
gayeJee@ashdownforestopenstudios.co.uk

(please type this address do not use the automatic email)

3. Write a Short Artist’s Statement

    Provide a brief introduction to you and your artistic practice, including your processes and inspirations.
    This will appear on your Artist Page for visitors to learn more about your work.

4. Complete the Online Registration Form

     Fill out the form with your details to create your listing.

5. Pay Your Registration Fee

    Follow the payment instructions provided above to finalise your registration.

   

You will receive an email once we have everything we need.
