Visual Arts: Small

These galleries and venues show the work of mainly early or mid career artists and craftspeople.  However, some will still not accept unsolicited applications, and you would be well advised to contact them individually to enquire how they can be approached.  Best of all would be to visit the galleries you are interested in to see first-hand how they operate, and to talk to members of staff.

There is further information on approaching galleries in the Getting an exhibition article.
