NOW ACCEPTING PORTFOLIOS FOR 2010!
COMMERCE Gallery (at the Go Away Garage)
We are a venue for the arts for self-promoting artists of all disciplines
We exhibit (predominately) the visual arts, classic high art to street art low brow.
We do present performance work such as installation, conceptual, experimental sound and theater, small musical acts and the like.
We have approx. 200+ linear feet of wall space (with 100 feet of extra moveable center walls) .
2000 sq feet of floor. The perimeter walls are 12 feet high. The ceiling area is 14 feet high.
There is a loading dock with 10 foot high overhead door.
We can handle large work.
The building proprietor, the gallery advisor and the preparator all have 2 decades of event and exhibition experience.
We work along side of regional museums for promotion of the arts.
We are, at the same time, hardly stuffy.
We enjoy presenting all works, benign to bizarre.
The Midwest may be conservative, however we are not.
Our location of Wichita, Kansas is home to several state universities and junior colleges.
These boast large populations of foreign students for aviation, medical, engineering, educational as well as theological.
All of the above have fine art departments and we offer our services to those students as well as the abundant number (per capita) of private sector working artists.
We have exhibited several out of state and country artists in many of our group exhibits.
Our venue is open to all types and styles of art and artists.
We (and our city) are available to accommodate artists (from anywhere) looking for an attractive, easy to work in and with, well attended gallery.
Wichita does boast a vibrant “scene”.
Our gallery crawl night is called “Final Friday”.
Geographically our gallery is the center of this crawl (literally).
We accept portfolios (hard copy or digital) from artists that are serious and present themselves and their work in a courteous, professional manner.
2009 is booked, 2010 still has several openings (but hurry).
We do not have to like or “get” your work.
We do have to respect it.
Therefore the criteria are; Quality of craftsmanship and quality of intent.
We look forward to hearing from you.
The rate for '10 will be 500USD.
The time frame available is 7 days up to and including the "Final Friday" of the month.
Final Friday is the gallery crawl night for Wichita.
The artist is to deliver the work (either in person or shipped )
Our preparator will install the exhibit (artist involvement is only when neccessary).
It is reccommended the artist hold a public reception opening the Friday or Saturday before "Final Friday", which may include an Artist Q&A.
The artist will then remove work (or have return shipped) after "Final Friday" weekend.
Advertisement of the exhibit by COMMERCE Gallery does NOT include any printed materials.
Regional PR will include notification of exhibit to regional news publications and our regional email list of 5000-plus names of regional visual art patrons.
Howdy!
