Gift Shop - your art on consignment

​Our gift shop showcases small, original artworks created by our members.

If you’re a current financial member of the Gawler Community Gallery, you’re welcome to submit artworks for consideration, subject to space availability and committee approval.

To keep the gift shop curated to a professional fine art standard, we accept artworks only. Craft items, functional items, and any works containing religious text or symbolism are not eligible.

(Please see our full Terms & Conditions for detailed guidelines.)

​

Key Requirements
​

  • You must be a current financial member.

  • All artists with items in the gift shop must complete one 3 hour volunteer shift every second month. New volunteers are always onboarded prior to their shift. Onboarding takes around 15 minutes.

  • The gallery takes 25% commission on artworks and 15% on greeting cards.

  • All items must be A4 size or smaller, ready for display, and clearly labelled with your name and price.

  • Items can only be displayed once they have been barcoded by the gallery.​

​

How to Submit Your Work
​

  1. First step: Fill out the Expression of Interest form so the committee can review your artworks.

  2. Once approved, complete the online consignment form (or download the paper version) and bring your (securely) labelled items to the gallery for processing.​

 

We love supporting our local artists and look forward to seeing your work. If you’re unsure whether your items meet the criteria, please check the full Terms & Conditions or contact us for guidance.

How to List and Label Your Items for Consignment

​

To help us process your items accurately and ensure they can be barcoded, tracked, and displayed correctly, all artists must use the format below when submitting items via either our online consignment form or the paper version of the consignment form.

​

1. How to Describe Your Items

​

Please group similar items together and list them as a single line entry. This helps us create one barcode for each group and prevents unnecessary duplication in our system.

​

Examples:

  • Cards – 6 cards at $5 each

  • Cards – 7 cards at $8 each

  • Earrings – 6 pairs at $30 each

  • Bracelets – 3 at $29 each

  • Necklaces – 12 at $35 each

​

Our preference: Where possible, similar items should all be the same price. This greatly reduces the number of different barcodes required and speeds up processing for volunteers.

​

2. What Must Appear on the Physical Label

​

The description written on the consignment form must match the way the items are labelled so we can identify each group correctly.

​

However, for small items where the type of item is visually obvious, the physical label attached to the artwork only needs to include:

​

  • Artist name, and

  • Price

  • ​

This applies to:

​

  • Cards

  • Jewellery (earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches)

  • Other small, clearly identifiable gift shop items

  • ​

You do NOT need to write “card”, “earrings”, etc. on the label, the item itself makes that clear. But the artist name and price must be securely attached to every item.

​

3. Why We Require This System

​

This method ensures:

  • Accurate barcoding and stock entry

  • Faster processing

  • Clear identification of each item group

  • Reduced errors when volunteers scan items at the counter

  • Consistent pricing for similar items

  • A smoother experience for both artists and gallery staff

 

4. Important

​

  • The item description on your form MUST match the labels attached to your items. See point 2 above for full details.

  • Every individual item MUST have the artist’s name and price attached.

  • Items without correct labelling cannot be accepted.
