Who is SMAG Art Limited?
History/Background
In February 2017, a small group of local artists had the idea to use the beautiful space of St. Michael and All Angels Church, 1 Pond Road, Blackheath, SE3 9JL as an art gallery. SMAG Art Ltd runs two exhibitions a year (typically in May/June and October/November) and aims to raise funds for local charities as well as showcase local talent.
​
SMAG Art raises money through commissions on sale of artwork as well as from Artist entry fees and the occasional donation. Almost all funds raised (barring basic expenses incurred to run the non-profit business) are given to local charities in the Greenwich/Blackheath areas.
​
Due to COVID, SMAG ART developed an online presence following the cancellation of the planned physical exhibition in May 2020. This online presence remains and is complementary to the physical exhibitions.
​
SMAG Art Limited is a not-for-profit company run entirely by volunteers.
Next Physical Art Exhibition in May 2025 (complementary to online)
Our last exhibition, SMAG 15 during Oct/Nov 2024 had representation from 96 artists displaying 224 pieces of artwork, attracted 850 visitors and led to the sale of 79 pieces of artwork valued at £8,470. This allowed us to give £4,100 to charity, bringing our total charitable contributions since inception to £41,470.
​​
We will be hosting our next physical art exhibition from 15th - 24th May 2025 at St. Michael's and All Angels Church, 1 Pond Road, Blackheath, London SE3 9JL.

Artwork Submission Limits/Jotform Online Entry Submission Deadlines
We intend to make some changes for our May 2025 Exhibit based on artist feedback.
​
Most notably, reverting back to three pieces per artist but only if submissions are in by a designated date (i.e. by or on the 30th April).
​
The reason we are going to request this earlier submission deadline for Jotform is because we have been hitting our maximum monthly storage limit of 100 forms. To upgrade our Jotform subscription to increase this number to the next level would literally cost SMAG Art 10x as much as we are paying per month now. The Directors do not feel that this additional cost is warranted if it can be avoided if we can encourage artists to submit earlier by offering to accept three pieces if submitted by the 30th April.
​​
Post 30th April, we will only accept submissions of two pieces from an artist.
​
New: Jotform Online Entry Form Submission Deadline:
Artists are required to submit their Jotform online submission form prior to physical artwork drop and no later than 5pm on Friday, 9th May.
​​
Despite the earlier Jotform Submission Deadline for Entry Acceptance, artwork drop-off dates are still along the same timeline on the normal Sunday - Tuesday dates prior to Thursday Opening Night as previous (see table below).
​
The earlier Jotform online submission form will allow us to manage the catalogue production, physical exhibit set up with numbering of pieces and more time to ensure all works that wish to be online will be so prior to Opening Night.
We hope you understand but as always, please let us know if these dates will cause any issues.
