Any sales would be made directly between the artist and the buyer (The Media Centre is not able to be a part of any sales process) and we recomend including QR codes or active links in your exhibition to allow interested viewers to learn more and potentially buy.

To allow us to do this we ask that you share a brief explanation of your exhibition, a couple of pictures you would like to share and a link to where people can find out a little more about your work.
We also request that you promote the exhibition through your social media channels, tagging @themediacentre into your posts.
If you are able to include the exhibition details on your website, this would be appreciated.
