Exhibit with us

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.

​

Exhibitors are required to volunteer for one gallery shift per week during their exhibition (i.e. six shifts), alongside our regular volunteer roster.

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