Some FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions we've been asked in previous years - with answers. Click the links below. Use the Contact page if you have a question which can't be answered by the FAQ pages.
Q: Do I have to pay to display my work at the Festival?
A: There is no fee required to display your art in a Festival garden. If a garden has been
selected for you, or if you have made arrangements with a garden owner, then you
can exhibit free of charge. If you sell your work, we would ask you to give just 10% of
your profits from sales to the Festival - either to the garden owner or directly to us.
This money helps to fund the overall costs of the Festival.

Q: Can I exhibit my work at the Festival if I'm not a Henfield resident?
A: The Festival has limited space - not all of the 30+ gardens will accommodate art
work - so we give priority to "local" artists, i.e. those living in or reasonably close to
the parish. If in doubt, contact us to discuss the possibility of exhibiting.

Q: How will my work be displayed at the Festival?
A: The display setup of your work in a garden is a matter to be agreed between you and
the garden owner beforehand. Members of Henfield Art Club often exhibit in the
Henfield Hall and the Henfield Club, and the Art Club will facilitate and organise the
displays in these venues.

Q: Is any other data required other than the application form details?
A: At some point we will ask you for 3 photographs of your work, and possibly further
details, to put into the Artists' Gallery on the Festival website. The information
space in the booklet is very limited, but the website profile can be much fuller.
