There is a non-refundable submission fee of £5 per artwork.
We do not charge commission on sales during the exhibition.
Cromer Artspace is a charity and Artspace on the Prom costs us £12,000 a year to run. We need the submission fees to ensure that we can stay open.
However, we will be able to support submissions from a percentage of artists who cannot afford the submission fee.
We will be very pleased if you are able to pay forward to support an artist who cannot afford to pay the fee or to contribute to our new ‘Bursary Fund’ to support emerging artists.
