Acceptable Art Works

Acceptable Works

Paintings only will be accepted subject to the normal selection process.
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 for consideration any number of works, each submission attracting a registration/ entry fee as shown under the Fees and Commissions Section, however the selection panel, who’s decision will be final, will determine which works (up to 4 from one artist) will be displayed.

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

Maximum size of submitted works cannot exceed 1400 mm (1.4 M) on any one side (incl. Frame if any).

There are three (3) sizing groups for entry:

  • Small Size: 1000mm (1.0 M) combine length of two adjacent sides (Frame or not)eg. 500mmx 500mm or 400mm x 600mm or 700mm x 300mm, etc.
  • Med Size: 1600mm (1.6 M) combined length of two adjacent sides (Frame or not)eg. 800mm x 800mm or 1000mm x 600mm or 900mm x 700mm, etc.
  • Large Size: 2800mm (2.8M) combined length of two adjacent sides (Frame or not)eg. 1400mm x 1400mm or 1600mm x 1200mm or 1800mm x 1000mm, etc.

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.

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.
