“On The Wall”
An Exhibition Encompassing Different Media

• Submissions open to members and non-members

Solas are inviting members and non-members to submit work for an exciting new exhibition
at the Solas Gallery, Ballinamore in November.
“On The Wall” will be the first of its kind for Solas, showing alternative art forms in various
types of media. As the name implies, the emphasis will be on work, which can be wall hung.
Small sculpture (wood, metal, paper or stone), non-digital prints, glass, ceramics, wall
hangings, felting, weaving, found objects … The list is as endless as your imagination and
skill! (on this occasion we are not looking for paintings, drawings and photographs). The aim
of this exhibition is to stretch ourselves as artists and introduce the public to new and different
forms of art.

Some points to consider in your submission:
1. We have a limited number of plinths at the gallery (sculpture). Tall, stable floor
standing pieces may be considered All pieces submitted for hanging should be
presented in the usual convention for hanging at Solas (pair of hooks fixed to the back
of the work)or suitable for hanging from picture hook and rail. Work cannot be fixed
directly to the wall. There can be no exceptions to this.
2. Up to 3 pieces per artist can be submitted. A non-refundable fee of €5 per piece is
payable by non-members. Members are covered by their membership fee.
3. Artists should include a brief (up to 50 words) explanation of the work with each
submission.
4. Maximum size for wall pieces is 60cm x 60cm if submitting three works. One single
larger piece may be considered.
5. The gallery is on the first floor so all work has to be carried up a flight of stairs. Large
stone or cast pieces are not suitable.
6. Selection will consider size /weight, originality, quality of work and presentation.
Pre-selection will be done by photo submission. Please supply at least 2 good images of
each work you are submitting – these should be photographs (not disc or email). If your work
is chosen in this preliminary selection, you will then be asked to bring it to the gallery for a
final selection.
Completed application forms, fee (if applicable) and photos of work should be marked
“On the Wall” and posted or hand delivered to Solas Gallery, Main St, Ballinamore, Co
Leitrim to reach the Gallery no later than Saturday 9th October 2010. An entry form and
these details can also be downloaded from the website http://www.solasart.ie

“On The Wall” will run from 5th – 27th November 2010.
We look forward to receiving your submission.
