Copyright & Social Media Permission

The London Biennale is a celebration of art and our purpose is to promote art. Therefore, permission for the posting of artworks on social media and for press publication is automatically granted by an artist when an artwork is submitted.
Images of works will be chosen and published on our social medias to promote the exhibition.
Please note that we can only post some, not all, artwork submissions on socials and that artworks published on our social medias during the selection process are not automatically approved for the exhibition.
All artists that are subsequently approved for the Biennale also agree for their work to be published on our printed catalogue for the 2023 edition of the London Art Biennale.

Sales

Exhibited artworks do not need to be for sale, it is the artist’s choice and artworks can be exhibited as “not for sale”.
For artworks that are for sale, prices and information will be available with the London Biennale staff via professional and experienced sales staff.
The London Art Biennale retains 30% commission on sales during the exhibition with which we include payment processing, logistics (such as delivery/installation of artwork to London) and assistance. Any private sales after the Biennale are not subject to commission.

Printed & Online Catalogue

Each artist will have one A4 page with one work published in the hardcopy publication
Artworks and artist details will be published on the London Biennale website indefinitely
Hardback copies of the catalogues can be purchased online by participating artists with a 10% discount.

Application Fee

There is an application fee for the London Art Biennale of £36 GBP per artwork submitted.
The fee covers admin costs and is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the selection process.
Once an artwork is accepted for exhibition there, are no other fees for artists.

Curatorial Study

All artworks are hung and curated by the Biennale team.
All artworks on canvas, panel or paper must be gallery stretched or appropriately framed/mounted and ready to hang with string, hooks or other hanging fixtures.

Artwork Transport

Artworks can be shipped in advance to a designated address or delivered by hand directly to the venue. We will send the designated shipping address in due course.
To reduce transport costs, there is also the option to send canvases/works on paper rolled so that they can be stretched/framed locally (costs of stretching and framing apply for this option).
Transport and related costs are the responsibility of the artist.
After the exhibition ends, artwork must be collected / collection must be organised within 8 weeks of an artist being informed that the artwork is ready for pickup.
Artworks that are not collected within 8-weeks are donated to charity, local hospitals, nursing homes or other care giving institutions.
