Exhibition Expression of Interest

​The Gawler Community Gallery welcomes Expressions of Interest from visual artists seeking to exhibit in our gallery space.

​

We are committed to supporting a diverse exhibition program that showcases emerging and established artists working across a range of visual art mediums.

​

Exhibitions typically run for six weeks.

​

Availability is limited due to our programmed exhibition calendar, so we encourage applicants to submit an Expression of Interest well in advance.

​

Who Can Apply?

We welcome applications from:

  • Individual artists

  • Artist groups and collectives working in the visual arts

 

What We Look For

Exhibition proposals are assessed against a range of considerations, including:

  • Artistic merit and quality

  • Suitability for the gallery space

  • Audience engagement opportunities

  • Diversity within the annual exhibition program

  • Availability within the exhibition calendar

 

Fees

  • $350 - Standard exhibition fee

  • $150 - Concession rate for members who joined on or before 30 June 2026 (FY26)*

*New members joining from FY27 (1 July 2026) onward pay the standard $350 rate.

​

A non-refundable 50% deposit is required within 7 days of your booking being confirmed, with the balance payable at least 30 days prior to installation.

​

Commission on Sales

All artworks exhibited must be available for purchase. A commission of 25% is retained by the Gallery on all sales made during the exhibition.

​

Exhibition Opening

Each exhibition includes an opening event. Exhibitors may organise and fund their own opening, or the Gallery can host a modest opening on their behalf for a fee of $150.

​

Exhibition Information

Successful applicants will be given access to the Gallery for installation and deinstallation in accordance with the agreed exhibition schedule.

​

Gallery volunteers will assist with installation where possible, and will support promotion of the exhibition through our usual marketing channels.

​

Full details will be provided in our Conditions of Hire, issued upon acceptance.
