Who/What is Glenroy Arts?

We’re a gallery situated in a beautifully restored Victorian terrace in Roath. With great care and respect for the house’s history, we’ve transformed it into a unique space that doubles as a holiday let. Guests can immerse themselves in a living gallery experience, surrounded by curated artwork, to see how art can elevate everyday spaces. When the property isn’t rented, it’s open to the public by appointment and hosts weekend events aligned with new exhibition launches.

Is there a theme?

No, we don’t follow a specific theme. We offer our walls as a platform for artists to showcase the work that best represents their talent.

How many pieces can I submit?

We require at least four pieces, though you're welcome to submit more if they form a cohesive body of work.
Please provide images in JPEG or PNG format within a PDF or Word document, including titles, medium, dimensions, and prices. We’d also love your social media links, website, etc.

What about size?

There’s no specific size requirement—we love to break boundaries and display artwork of all shapes and sizes, encouraging viewers to imagine doing the same in their own homes.
If a piece is too large to fit, we’ll collaborate with the artist to find the best solution.

Can anyone submit?

Yes, all mediums are welcome! We believe in creating a diverse and vibrant show.
Artists outside South Wales are also welcome, though they must handle their own transportation costs. All submissions must be original artworks or limited-edition prints.

Does my work need to be framed?

If your work benefits from framing, we encourage you to frame it. Please attach fixings to the back for display when possible. If adjustments are needed, we’ll assume you’re okay with us making them.
Presentation is key, so we ask artists to carefully consider how their work will be displayed. We reserve the right to decline displaying work if it doesn’t meet our standards.

Is there an entry fee?

No.

What’s the commission rate?

We take a 10% commission on sold works to cover marketing and hanging costs.
Our goal is to provide artists a platform without the burden of high fees, making art more accessible to buyers.

How often is the show open?

We kick off with an opening weekend from Friday night to Sunday afternoon, with open doors for everyone.
After that, we aim to open on selected Saturdays throughout the exhibition period. Viewings by appointment are also available.

Are fragile works safe?

Absolutely! We have dedicated wall space for fragile works and have suitable measures in place to protect work.

Can guests staying at the property buy my work?

Yes! Guests are encouraged to purchase artwork during their stay. We provide a QR code next to each artist’s work so buyers can connect with you directly or make purchases through us.

What if I need my work back?

Exhibition durations vary depending on holiday bookings and other factors. If you need your work returned, just give us two weeks’ notice, and we’ll make arrangements. We aim to be as flexible as possible.
