Acceptable Art Works

ACCEPTABLE ART WORKS

Acceptable Works

Paintings, photographs and other hanging works are invited for the Hastings Art Show, and will be accepted subject to the normal selection process. Other works cannot be accepted for the Physical show. 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.

Number of Works

The Artist may submit any number of works for consideration for acceptance into the Show, each submission attracting an 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 Artworks

Submitted work must not exceed two metres 20 centimetres (2.2 metres) on any two adjacent sides of the painting (including framing, if any).

There are two (2) sizing groups for entry:

  • Small: combined length of two adjacent sides is less than 150 cm,
  • Large: combined length of two adjacent sides is between 150 and 220 cm

Acceptance / Hanging Fee

Acceptance of a work for the Physical Show will attract an Acceptance/Hanging fee for either Small or Large work, depending on framed dimensions. 

Acceptance of a work for the Virtual Show will attract an Acceptance Fee. 

In both cases the Acceptance/Hanging fee is in addition to the Registration/Entry Fee.

All accepted works will be eligible for Award consideration and will be displayed.

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

Framing

Framing is not mandatory, but ALL WORKS DELIVERED MUST BE WIRED READY FOR HANGING, 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.

Works presented that are not wired will, at the discretion of the Organisers, be rejected and no refunds will be paid.

Please allow for the cost of framing when providing your selling price at time of submission. Works accepted into the Art Show will be sold at the price in G247 at time of closing date of submissions.

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.
