Exhibition Proposal
(Please provide as much information as possible and if necessary discuss
with a member of museum staff prior to submitting your proposal.)
MAKING YOUR REQUEST AND EARLY PLANNING
Requests for exhibition space should be made in writing to the museum. Any
request should include full details of content and format, together with images.
The Museum receives a number of applications for requests of exhibition space and we try
to draw up a varied programme, governed by our Public Programme Policy. If your
application is successful we will confirm in writing. As demand is high, we may not be able
to offer a slot for up to two to three years. On confirmation the exhibitor must provide a
title for the exhibition and an image for use in advance publicity together with a short
description. On confirmation the Gallery requires the following for inclusion in the What’s
On brochure, 6 months in advance of the exhibition:
- Exhibition title
- Tag-line (1-2 line description)
- Image
- Information for a press release
There are two temporary exhibition spaces available for shoe related exhibitions on the
ground floor, and two temporary exhibition spaces in the art gallery, located on the first
floor, for art exhibitions. The costs for hiring our galleries are £60.25 per week for a
minimum of 8 weeks.
Northampton Borough Council retains overall control of the exhibition: the Museum
reserves the right to change anything and to veto any exhibits and texts.
A decision to include any exhibition will be made in relation to how it contributes to the
aims and objectives of the Service, particularly with regard to developing new audiences
and the target audiences listed in the Public Programme Policy. The Museum’s Focus
Groups may also be consulted as part of the decision making process. The Public
Programme Policy can be sent to you upon request.
