Fashion 2023 submissions

This April LCB Depot’s programme is by and for artists, designers and makers working in fashion, contour, footwear, textiles design and related areas.

It’s a chance to show work, sell work, run events/workshops, find out about opportunities, and connect with other fashion industry professionals. The season is open to all, whether you’re based or studying in Leicester/shire, the East Midlands or inter/nationally.

We’ll be working with partners to bring some exciting events but we are open to your ideas too. We're not a funded organisation, so in most circumstances cannot pay for your work but will support in kind. We’re open to proposals for funded projects looking for a home and we are happy to promote related events happening elsewhere during the season- just let us know!

It's free to enter, just send us your work/event ideas and a few images/videos via the submission form below. A panel of fashion designers will select which submissions will be in this year's season- we’ll get back to you with their decisions as soon as possible. (We suggest that you enter work that you've already made as we have a pretty tight turnaround!)

Work will be exhibited throughout our spaces (gallery/cafe/courtyard/display cubes) and online via social media at #fashion @lcbdepot.

**Events will be on evenings or weekends during the season at LCB and partner venues - details will be decided by negotiation

The deadline for submission is 23.59 on Sunday April 2nd. We'll let you know if you're selected by the end of the following week.

We aim to be as inclusive as possible, so if you have any access requirements that you would like to discuss please contact exhibitions@lcbdepot.co.uk

Work chosen for the exhibition will need to be delivered by Thursday April 13th 

The Fashion 2023 programme will run from April 17th - May 5th

Upload images/videos of your work 
Please rename your files 'Your Name, name of work'

You might want to consider preparing your images for Instagram as we can't guarantee they'll be cropped correctly.

Videos MUST be <60s (for Instagram), and max of 1080p to work on all systems (we can do 4k but it has to be  h265 2160p). For longer versions please provide a visually engaging snippet for insta and a link to a longer video. 

Pick a maximum of 6 of your best images (JPEGs or PNGs format only) or 3 videos (mp4 format only) and send them via https://wetransfer.com/?to=exhibitions@lcbdepot.co.uk 


Display notes
All work will be displayed using methods provided by the artists involved. We'll hang all the work but for complex pieces in would be great if you can help with the install.

Please mirror plate framed work (see image for a handy way to stow them when transporting). Not only is work more secure but it really helps us when installing large exhibitions.

Please let us know dimensions, specific installation instructions, requirements (assume we don't have equipment but might be able source) or anything else below.

Insurance - IMPORTANT *
We have standard public liability insurance but this won't cover your work. Please make sure that you have taken your own insurance against any valuable work. You can see some options at https://www.a-n.co.uk/about/insurance/
