Who manages art sales on the day?

The NSCC coordinator will manage all sales on the day, unless otherwise agreed prior to exhibition. 

How does the set up of the exhibition work?

Each artist will be allocated an exhibition room either on their own or shared with another artist (as agreed with the coordinator). Each artist must assist the coordinator set up the exhibition the Friday before the exhibition at an agreed time based on access times to the allocated room. The coordinator will provide details leading up to the exhibition.

What set up equipment does the Centre provide?

The Centre will allocate a number of easels and hanging mechanisms per room. All artworks must have wire at the back for works to be hung. Tables and chairs may be provided. Any other items such as table coverings should be provided by the artist.

Does the Centre assist with Marketing?

Yes the Centre will assist in Marketing of the exhibition by generating a professional invitation that will be provided in electronic and paper version (if requested). The invitation will be placed on several appropriate websites and sent to local newspapers, radio stations and the centre’s database for promotion. Invitations will also be delivered to the council, library and local cafes. It is also up to the artists to promote the event as much as possible through their networks or family friends and colleagues.

Can I bring music or food to the exhibition?

Is it possible to view the space before I exhibit?
