SELECTION PROCESS

All prospective exhibitors must submit an exhibition proposal, which will be assessed to determine whether the applicant meets the required criteria.

Work is assessed on its merits, rather than the past achievements of the artist. There is no preference regarding medium in which the artwork is made.

ESSENTIAL:

  • High level of skill

  • Optimal use of large exhibition space

  • Artwork must be contemporary

  • Stimulating and relevant themes

DESIRABLE:

  • Experimental and ambitious work and curation

  • Engagement with community

We advise artists and curators to visit the gallery space before submitting a proposal to ensure awareness of the size of space the work must fill.
