APPLY NOW FOR YES! ART

"Smashing success, a lively evening filled with music, great conversations and sales for local artists. The art fair was well organised and beautifully curated; championing local artists in a beautiful setting. I had so many opportunities to share the story of my art with locals and made lasting contacts in the industry. Working with artillery has helped build my confidence as an artist and I feel lucky to be part of this community, thank you so much."

Who Can Apply?
The market is open to ALL fine artists.  
​
Yes! Art is for fine artists working in traditional and contemporary art forms including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, fine art ceramics, fibre art, photography, and mixed media.  The market is dedicated to showcasing artists whose practice is rooted in conceptual and aesthetic exploration rather than functional or commercial design. Why? Because these opportunities are especially rare. We want to get art in front of an audience.

​

Artists with a live art practice, performers and musicians interested in being part of the programme can email directly: yesart@artillery.org.uk

 

We are unlikely to select designer-makers, but we do curate a small zone of design businesses that compliment artists’ work e.g. product design innovators, interior designers, picture framers, creative services. 

 

We encourage artists to make visible the process, materials and tools you use together with your artwork for sale.

​

How to apply
To apply, complete the expression of interest form, including:

  • A link to your online portfolio 

  • The price range of the work you will be selling at Yes! Art 

  • An image representative of the work you intend to exhibit 

 

Expressions of interests are reviewed on a rolling basis and will close once the maximum number of successful applicants is reached. Successful applicants will be invited to confirm their place with payment and complete a listings form. 

​​

Not-for-profit initiative
Yes! Art is a not-for-profit initiative.

We take zero commission on sales, ensuring you retain full income from your work.

The event is designed to support artists in presenting, promoting and selling their practice directly to audiences.

 

Any questions?
For any enquiries, please contact us at yesart@artillery.org.uk.
