Renting the Gallery Space for a Month Term

Lawrence St. Gallery Terms for Non- Member Exhibitors:

*$550.00 fee for use of one gallery area(Area A= 72 linear feet) for 4 weeks. There is a deposit of $110.00 due upon proposal acceptance to hold your month. The Area available is labeled “A” on floor plan shown below. Occasionally, groups need the whole front of the gallery(Area A & B) for their exhibit – the fee for 4 weeks would be $900. (Deposit =$180.)

*We also feature an online version of the exhibit. Images of each piece in the show (does not have to be high resolution) with title, size, medium and price need to be sent to Jamie Thomson 2 weeks before the exhibit is hung. Purchases of the artwork are possible online as well as in person at the gallery. Link to the form for this inventory and image submission will be added here soon.

*Gallery will charge a 30% commission on all sales. We expect that any sales commissions resulting from the show made after the exhibit (30 days) will be paid by the artist to the gallery.

*The Gallery will have 500 post cards printed for the show and will available to send out to gallery patrons, newspapers and other media, as well as an email version of the card front and back. The exhibiting artist will have some (200) for the purpose of promoting their show. Gallery members also send out to their clients, other cards are put in art centers and other galleries in the area. You may work with our graphic designer to design your show card. The gallery retains the right of final approval of the design. The gallery will supply the mailing side of the postcard including our standard gallery information with a map and any information about the show. The gallery needs 3 months lead time to have a color photo card made. (included in fee) A good color photo of your work (300 dpi) will be needed (or better to send digital image of work) for the postcard. Usually the front of the card is an image in the show with the artist’s name on the card front. An email version of the card is also sent to the gallery list and to the artist(s) for their sharing.

*The Gallery also puts out a newsletter that artist can also forward to clients, etc. Press Releases will be sent to newspapers/magazines on a timely basis. We will supply the list of where we send the press releases for the artist to do a follow-up call if they choose. Many times this practice can get an article written and more publicity. The Gallery will do its utmost to spread the word about the gallery show and perhaps get an interview with the artist.

*We will arrange and hang your show (with your participation if you wish), hold an opening reception (we have been holding these on Sunday afternoons or on Friday night ) complete with wine, and refreshments (cheese/crackers, fruit – gallery-type food). We also hold a mid- month reception if the artist would like. (at no extra cost). We have found that Sunday afternoons are a good option.

*We usually receive work on the Saturday before you show opens. We place and hang on that Sunday and Monday. Work at the end of the show will be picked up on Saturday.

*We would like all of the following information/requirements THREE MONTHS or sooner prior to your exhibit:

Signed Contract with Show Proposal and Title of Show
Announcement Card information and digital image of work for card
Check for $550 (or balance due $440) or ($720. for whole front of gallery)
Personal information appropriate for press release – can include resume.
A Show Statement – many times we will retype and put in frame to hang along with show.

*All Non-Member Shows are juried by the Jury committee from digital images of the work that will be in the show. We require that work in the exhibition should not have been shown at the gallery before. We now have the ability to put all the work in the exhibit on our website for viewing and buying.
