Jewellers and Makers

Oriel Davies is always on the look-out for both emerging and established jewellers for the Gallery Shop. If you are a talented jeweller or maker who would like to submit work, please download submission details >

Artist submissions

The main exhibition programme is planned up to 2 years ahead, with the majority of exhibitions arising from direct invitation by the gallery. However, we also encourage artists and curators to come forward with proposals. If you do choose to make a submission, please be patient and allow up to 3 months for it to be considered. We are unlikely to host a one-person exhibition by the same artist more frequently than once every 5 years. Download submission criteria and guidelines >

Your work may also be suitable/eligible for Oriel Davies’ Test Bed programme, dedicated to showcasing new and experimental emergent work from Wales and the Borders. Find out more about submissions to Test Bed >
