The Royal Standard are currently hosting an open call for local artists to come and exhibit their work in their gallery!
During their annual summer fundraiser, held 13 August, they will be auctioning off a selection of works from their studio artists and the wider local artistic community at a one day event, accompanied by drinks and a BBQ, to help support local artists and The Royal Standard.
Merseyside artists are invited to submit artworks to be sold in the two auctions we’ll have going on. Artists have the option to submit a maximum of 3x artworks for the main auction and a maximum of 1x artwork for the silent auction.
Please consider the artworks to be submitted as these pieces will have starting bids of £5 – £15 for the main auction and £30 – £50 for the silent auction, so we would recommend smaller works or prints for the main auction and larger works and originals for the silent auction. The profit from each artwork sold will be split 50-50 between The Royal Standard and the artist.
They can accept any and all physical work (paintings, prints, small sculptures, etc.) but will be unable to accept any digital pieces, and all donated work will need to be at TRS before the day in order to be displayed & auctioned off at the event.
They will need a short bio (max two sentences), and the title, dimensions, and starting bid* of your work, along with an image of the work to be used for marketing purposes, to be emailed over as soon as possible.
(* Starting bid prices are £5-15 for the main auction, and £30-50 for the silent auction.)
Please send all submissions to elizabethchallinor@the-royal-
