Portobello Gold - The Gallery
The Gold Gallery showcases a new photographic
or art exhibition every month. Whilst the most prolific art form
here comes from a wealth of excellent photographers, we embrace
all forms of art including paintings, artefacts and even African
barber signs! It all adds to the diversity that the Portobello
Gold is famous for.
Exhibit in our Gallery
The point as far as the Gold is concerned,
is not to be a profit centre, but to give exposure to up and coming
artists and photgraphers and to vary the feel of the place and
to introduce new customers to the restaurant and bar in the process.
We suggest a 10% commission be offered DIRECTLY to the staff by
way of incentive and so it is important that they are au fait
with your work.
To maximise exposure of your work it is essential
to make the most of the preview. We have in the past, left publicity
to the artist and it hasn't always prompted the interest deserved.
Why Portobello Gold?
Portobello Gold has been a popular place to
eat and drink since 1985 and, to many people, needs no introduction.
Bearing in mind that 700-1000 a week pass through the Gold, what
small gallery can offer that sort of attendance? Your show will
run for one month and it is a good idea to be around at crucial
times. It is up to you to replenish brochures. Don't assume, however,
that we will have the time to spend with your customers - but
our staff are trained to give as much help as possible.
