Thanks to Rachel from Dimbola for this reminder. In her own words. Ed
We are currently looking for proposals for the 2014/15 programme. Exhibiting in the Tea Room Gallery is a fantastic opportunity to promote your work and potentially to sell to some of the thousands of people who visit Dimbola every year, with individual exhibitions lasting around six weeks.
There is no charge for exhibiting, but any sales made will be subject to a commission fee.
About the Tea Room Gallery
The Tea Room Gallery is located in Julia’s former salon where now visitors can enjoy light lunches, cream teas and home made cakes.
It showcases the work of Isle of Wight artists and photographs and aims to support both up and coming and well-established local people.
The historic character of the space in which the Tea Room Gallery is situated makes it a quirky and unique place to display your work (although the gallery is only able to display 2D pieces). We recommend that you visit Dimbola (entrance to the Tea Room is free) to familiarise yourself with the exhibition space before making a proposal.
About Dimbola
The former home and work place of pioneering Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, Dimbola is now a museum with displays about her work and life and a lively programme of changing exhibitions.
There are also vintage cameras, a permanent exhibition about the 1970 Isle of Wight music festival and a museum shop and tea room. Dimbola is run by a registered charity, the Julia Margaret Cameron Trust.
