A few people have mentioned that they're having trouble with the application form. This mainly appears to be due to one of two things:

Due to unforeseen demand we are going to be allowing the entry of a venue or groups to this year’s Helfa Gelf. This means that if you are exhibiting in a space with other artists you can apply under a group or venue name. The group will have to decide:

a) a single name
b) a single image for the brochure.
c) one contact e-mail address and telephone number
d) a minimum of one artist to be present in the venue at all times.

In terms of fees, £50 will cover the costs of up to 5 artists; any further subsequent artists will have to pay £10 each extra.

We will not be able to provide each participating artist in a group with a separate image in the brochure, however as ever, you can add images and content to your webpage with details of the artists. You do of course still have the option to apply as individual artists even if you are in a group and each pay the £50 membership fee. In this case you will get your own image, artist statement and webpage, just like last year.

Also, in case you are having trouble applying, if you were a member last year and your details haven’t changed we can just take last years info and put it onto this years database without you having to fill in the application form. You can e-mail us any new images you would like us to use separately (make sure they still adhere to the instructions on the site).

Because of these changes we are extending the application deadline to the 21 February!
