Payment, Gallery view and Installation

If you are reading this you have joined the Facebook group: Murmurs at the Rag Factory 22-25th of June and wish to participate in the exhibition.

The first thing you need to do now is contact us directly via email:
Scribbles_and_Murmurs@hotmail.co.uk
Within this email it would be useful for us to know:

1. How many pieces of work you would like to feature. We ask this because it is a fixed rate of £15 per piece. If you would like to display more than one piece you are completely welcome to, but we must add you would have to pay £15 for any additional work.
(However this may vary in reference to written work, or in particular circumstances, so please don’t be afraid to ask questions and keep in contact.)

2. We would like to feature an image of your work on our blog and our programmes. Would you kindly select an image that you would like to feature and email it to us, so we can get these matters up and running.
(For writers we would like a short description of your literature, or selected quotes you would like to feature in the programme.)

3. For writers, please email us any writing you wish to use in the event.Let us know in the email what genre your writing fits into, as we will be organzing the writing into categories for the event. Please make sure that the font used is Times New Roman, size 12, and double spaced. This makes it easier for us, and the public, to read. Your name must also be visible on the page, and if there are more than one pages please put in page numbers. We cannot exhibit your writing in our event if you have not emailed it to us previously, as we need to run it through for plagiarism. We will then send you an email confirming that it can be used in the event. For the event we expect you to print it yourself, and it MUST be bound. We will not accept any loose pages.

Payment:
We must insist that all payments are done in person. This is due to the fact that we are:
1. Working towards a deadline, so cannot accept postal payments.
2. We require a particular number of pieces to put on this exhibition, so by meeting us you will receive an allocated number for the exhibition programme and for the order in which you pay.
3. Method of payment: you are welcome to pay by cash or by cheque.
(If you wish to pay by cheque email us first, or wait until you meet us. You will have to make the cheque out to one of our collective personally, as we do not have a Scribbles and Murmurs business bank account.)

Below is a sample of what you will be filling out to participate in this exhibition:

These rules of payment will keep the exhibition efficient and will avoid any problems when it comes to money, which lets face it, none of us want.

To allow you to make these payments, we will be allocating weekly meet up dates at the Rag Factory until the 15th of June, which we will be announcing on our facebook page and blog.
When you meet us at the Rag Factory on these dates please kindly bring the funds necessary to display your work.

If you happen to be an out of London artist or writer, please contact us directly via email and we will figure out a solution.

Thank you so much for taking an interest in our event!

*Some more information*

A lot of people have enquired as to whether the space is big enough to hold their work. We would like to clarify that you have no need to worry about this matter. The Rag Factory has four galleries, and we are renting out the biggest one HUME STUDIO. We are currently looking for at least 100 pieces to fill the space. Below is a link to the Rag Factory website, and an image of the Hume Studio. There is also additional floor space upstairs.

Don’t worry, however, if you cannot make this date. We will continue these meet ups for the next few weeks at café 1001 in Brick Lane from 5pm-9pm, every Sunday.
If this is area is difficult for you to reach, or any of the allocated dates do not work please let us know and we will sort something out.

Members of our collective will also be visiting Universities, to sign up artists and writers for this event. If you are a student send us a message to find out who will be at your University and when.
Make sure you keep checking our events, blog and facebook profile page. And remember that the sooner you get in contact with us and pay the fee, the better your allocated space will be.
