Who can take part?
Peckham Festival Open Spaces is for artists, designers and makers to showcase their original work and who have a venue (home, studio, cafe, gallery, workshop, etc…) in the Peckham area in which to exhibit. Please note, if you do not have a space and would like to take part, please apply for the Made in Peckham Makers Hub.
Insurance and safety
Artists/Makers are responsible for insuring their work and the contents of their home/studios during the weekends. Check that your existing policy provides adequate cover before registering to take part. Peckham Festival does NOT provide insurance of any kind. Public liability insurance is essential and you MUST ensure that you have this in place.
The Artists' information company www.a-n.co.uk has information regarding public liability insurance.
Marketing
We produce a flyer advertising Peckham Festival which includes Open Spaces, which will be available publicly.
In previous years we have produced a full catalogue brochure, however in keeping with our sustainability targets this year we will transition to the smaller flyer mentioned above. Due to size restrictions it will not be possible to include individual entries for all artists.
Each individual artist will, however, be listed with their image and description on the Peckham Festival website at peckhamfestival.org and will also be promoted across our social media platforms (within a small collective).
There will also be posters distributed before the Festival.
We promote the event through the Peckham Festival website and on our Social Media channels. Peckham Festival also publicises the event in local papers and magazines and on digital media.
Your entry
The image you select is the most important part of your entry so please ensure that you are happy with the quality you supply. Please submit your image using this form. The image file name must contain the artist's name and year of participation in this format:
ArtistsName_2024.jpg
If supplying multiple images please add _01, _02 etc at the end of each file name.
The preferred file format is a high resolution 300dpi JPEG.
We ask for both a short and long description for your profile on the Peckham Festival website.
Peckham Festival Open Spaces Registration
An entry form (next page) must be completed and a high resolution image provided together with payment for each entry by the closing date.
By registering to take part you are agreeing to the above terms and to being open during the specified dates and times.
Your Peckham Festival Open Spaces Experience
We hope that you will find Peckham Festival Open Spaces a rewarding experience both personally and commercially. It is an excellent opportunity to meet the public, make contacts, receive feedback and sell your work. However, it is an undertaking which takes thought and preparation.
You must feel comfortable opening your home or studio to strangers. Visitor numbers can vary widely throughout the day and at each venue. The success of your Peckham Festival Open Spaces cannot be guaranteed but the number of visitors you have will be influenced by how much of your own publicity you do.
