General Information
The exhibition will be held at the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts, 15 Ely Place, Dublin 2 from 20 May to 4 August 2024 (all dates subject to change).
Eligibility
Submissions of work are invited from visual artists working in paint, photography, sculpture, architecture, print, drawing and mixed media. Works outside these categories are not accepted.
Submission Procedure
Submission is by online entry only. Entries are selected from the digital application (stage1) with successful artists asked to deliver work to RHA for further consideration and possible inclusion in the exhibition (stage 2). Artists are asked to check their accounts for decisions on the dates listed.
Pricing
All work selected for exhibition will be expected to be for sale with the exception of portraits. A commission of 35% is charged by the gallery. It will be assumed that the sale price includes all your costs and our commission. Please allow for these points when pricing your work. Prices should include VAT if applicable.
Communications
All communication will be via the online login process. Applicants will be required to login to see if they have been pre-selected and will be asked to download and print their application labels and details to be delivered with the artwork. Failure to do so could result in work being withdrawn from the exhibition.
Selection
The selection committee is made up of six members of the Council of the RHA. Artworks are presented anonymously and judged solely on merit. The decision is final and binding and no correspondence or feedback will be entered into under any circumstance.
Insurance
Artists are responsible for insuring their own work. All works accepted for exhibition will be transported entirely at the artists' risk and organisers and the gallery will not accept liability for loss or damage occurring during travel to the exhibition or the selection process.
Delivery & Collection
All works handed in for selection must be:
Works that are of a delicate or fragile nature can be delivered wrapped but must be clearly marked with additional labels on the packaging. The organisers may ask that work is unwrapped should it not be necessary.
Each artwork must have both a tie on and stick on label. Both labels are used during selection. Please ensure that the label information matches the information at the time to entry. It is important that all details are included on the form, as incomplete details will deem the entry inadmissible. All works will be checked on entry so please make sure your information is correct.
We accept work from outside the EU. However, you must ensure that your work reaches us on the designated days and is customs compliant. The RHA will not pay customs charges, duty or any associated charges on works arriving by courier. It is the artist’s responsibility to ensure that the work is correctly packaged, as the RHA will not accept responsibility for work damaged in transit or by any third parties.
Unselected works from stage 2 must be collected on the designated days. If an artist is unable to collect on these days, we ask that you ask someone to collect on your behalf. Works not collected by the end of August 2024 will be liable for a storage charge. Works not collected by end of September 2024 will be disposed of.
