Exhibition Proposal Policy

Mall Galleries is the national focal point for contemporary figurative art, and home to the Federation of British Artists.

The FBA comprises of nine of the UK’s leading national art Societies. Each society is highly regarded in the art forms they champion - promoting and showcasing accomplished figurative artists and providing early career artist opportunities and prizes.

Mall Galleries welcomes likeminded societies, open call competitions, solo exhibitions, group shows, art fairs and art auctions.

Three contemporary exhibition spaces are available to hire. Our exhibition programme is scheduled approximately 6 – 18 months in advance. All exhibitors are required to complete an online form.

An initial assessment will take place by the Exhibitions and Events Department and Gallery Director. Exhibition proposals that meet the exhibition objectives and quality criteria expected of Mall Galleries are then passed to the Exhibitions Committee for detailed review.

The Exhibitions Committee meets up to four times a year and is responsible for discussing and vetting all exhibition proposals in further detail.

The Head of Exhibitions and Events will convey the results of this review to all successful and unsuccessful proposals.

Due to the high volume of proposals received by Mall Galleries, highly detailed responses are not always available.
