No. of Works

The Artist may submit up to 5 pieces of work 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, can accept up to 5 pieces of work 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.

Prints may be entered and multiple copies sold of the print. Each sale is subject to the charges listed under Fees and Commissions.

Size of Paintings and Photographs

All sizing noted includes frame.

There are three (3) sizing groups for entry:

– Small: Any side a maximum of 30cm,

– Standard: Any side between 30cm and 150cm,

– Large: Any side longer than 150cm

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.

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 and to be printed by the Artist, must be affixed securely to the rear of the work or the artwork cannot be hung for sale.

Additional Works

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