Background to Radcliffe & Newlands as a venue for art
Radcliffe & Newlands are financial planners with one foot in the City and the other in Shoreditch. This location, combined with the directors’ personal interest in art, gave rise to the idea of creating an alternative space for up and coming artists to display their work. We have turned the public half of our office into a gallery, inviting artists to hold exhibitions. We host opening nights and private views but also give artists the opportunity to reach our clients coming to the office to see their adviser. Encountering art unexpectedly is always a pleasure and we believe art should be in all public spaces.
Terms and conditions of entry
1. All work must be available for the duration of the exhibition and delivered to Radcliffe & Newlands by the artist no later than Monday 25 June.
2. All work and text submitted may be used for promotional material relating to the competition.
3. All work submitted must be for sale and we levy a 30% commission on any sales.
4. The utmost care will be taken of all work submitted, however Radcliffe & Newlands will not be liable for any damage caused to work which occurs in the normal course of handling the work whether such damage is caused by the organisers, their employees or otherwise.
5. Work will be available for collection at the end of the exhibition on Saturday 1 September, Monday 3 September or after that by appointment. There are very limited storage facilities, particularly for larger works, so we recommend prompt collection of work after this date.
6. Work cannot be stored beyond November 2012.
