Exhibiting with RAMM
RAMM receives a great many proposals, from across the UK and overseas and every one is discussed by the team. This process takes time and means we are not able to accommodate every artist or exhibition idea. This page is a guide for those interested in exhibiting at RAMM.
Background to programming
RAMM’s exhibition programme is committed two years or more in advance. As a public museum and art gallery our temporary exhibitions cover all disciplines, including antiquities, art, natural sciences and world cultures. RAMM also has a commitment to present changing displays of the museum’s collection of over one million objects. Some exhibitions have been in planning for several years, often in partnership with many other organisations.
Programming Process
RAMM’s exhibition programme is now complete for this year and next. There is limited availability for 2023.
