Acceptable Art Works

Acceptable Works

Paintings, photographs, pottery and ceramics will be accepted subject to the normal selection process.
Other types of art work are encouraged but acceptance is entirely at the discretion of the Organisers and subject to the available space and the quality of the art. Please contact the Organisers if you have any questions.

No. of Works

The Artist may submit any number of works for consideration for acceptance into the Show, each submission attracting a registration/ entry fee as shown under the Fees and Commissions Section.  The Organisers, whose decision is final, will accept up to four (4) works from any one artist.

Pairs of paintings and multiple panelled paintings will be accepted. Entry fees will be calculated using the combined dimensions of the work. Individual paintings from a pair will not be sold separately.

Size of Paintings and Photographs

Submitted work must not exceed two and a half (2.5) metres on any one side of the painting (including framing, if any).

There are three (3) sizing groups for entry:

- Combined length of two adjacent sides is less than 170 cm,

- Combined length of two adjacent sides is between 170 and 210 cm

- Combined length of two adjacent sides is between 210 and 250 cm

Size of Ceramics and Pottery

Ceramics and pottery exhibits should be less than 20kg in weight and be easily handled by one person. Items should be able to be hung on a peg board or be freestanding on a plinth or table.

NB. The nature of Opening Night activities is such that ceramics and pottery will not be on public display during Opening Night. These items will be on display and available for sale from Saturday 7th January to Sunday 15th January 2023

Acceptance Fee

Acceptance of a work will attract an acceptance fee (hanging fee) depending on frame dimensions.  The acceptance fee is in addition to the registration/entry fee.

Artworks displayed in the virtual gallery will also attract an acceptance fee in addition to the registration/entry fee. If however, the same painting has been accepted in the physical art show, then the acceptance fee will not apply.

With the exception of photography and ceramics / pottery on the Opening Night, all accepted works will be displayed.

Artists will be notified by both email and text message when their work has been accepted for hanging or display. Please ensure that your correct details are registered with Gallery 247.

Framing

Exhibits must be on durable material, framed with FLUSH HANGERS. Flush Hangers are those which do not protrude when paintings are stored. Eye hooks are not acceptable as these can cause damage to other works. Oil/acrylic paintings on canvas unframed but ready for hanging will be accepted.

Identification

Identifying labels, supplied by the Art Show organisers, must be affixed securely to the rear of the work.

Additional Works

Individual artists may at the discretion of the Organisers be invited to supply more than the maximum number of works.
