Submissions

A submission is an approach to the gallery by an artist who wants us to consider exhibiting and/or stocking their work.

  • We are only open to receiving submissions by email. We will not accept submissions by post or take in-person submissions in the gallery or look at your artwork on a phone or laptop. We will ask that you email us. 
  • Although we are open to receiving submissions from artists by email proposing their work, we do not have the capacity to respond to all the emails we receive and we are not obligated to do so. It is not possible for us to engage each time, providing feedback. If you have sent us an email about your work and it has not bounced back, we have seen it and it has been forwarded to our Director who has viewed its contents and filed it. If and when an artist’s work is of interest and suitable for stock or one of our exhibition formats that artist will be contacted and invited. All other artists will not receive a reply (this has not been sustainable). Persistent attempts by email or phone to receive a reply or feedback are not welcome. 
  • For all email submissions please email our Gallery Director, Brian Mac Domhnaill at director@lavitgallery.com 
  • If submitting your work by email please be clear as to your intentions and what you want for your work, preferably demonstrating some awareness of our remit, programming and how we operate. For example, are you proposing a solo show, work for stock or is it a general introduction to you and your work or an update to share a recent body of work for consideration for group exhibition opportunities?  
  • You don’t have to be a member to exhibit in the gallery (a common misconception) 
  • You have to be a paid-up member to submit work for consideration for the Annual Members Exhibition. Being a paid-up member does not entitle an artist to participate in any other exhibition in our programme but members may be invited to show in other exhibitions (3-6 members typically feature in our seasonal exhibitions).
