Displaying in the Gallery

The process is very simple.

I have asked all interested to send a quick email with samples of your work so I know what area you are in. Also if you could give an idea of pricing that you see suitable for your work.

I will always be very careful of pricing. The Gallery is hosted in Dunlaoire Shopping Centre, and that is setting the price range. I completely understand that there are certain margins that artists will not go below, but more important is the fact that I want art to sell so there is nothing left sitting around. THE PRODUCT MUST MATCH THE PRICE PUT ON IT, PEOPLE WANT GOOD STANDARD OF WORK.  The Gallery is for Artists to sell their work through so they can get paid to make more Art. I believe that your work should pay its way, and your time is precious, but I will not let over priced art into the gallery that I know will sit and go stale taking up room that someone else can benefit from.

The system is very clear…if your work is different from the other artists displaying and your pricing is realistic then you jump to the next available spot.
Every artist will be recorded for future reference.

The charges are on the panel of space that you rent. Each panel is 4ft wide and 7ft high. They cost 10Euro a day and there is now a 10% commission on all work sold. All costs must be paid in advance.

When you sell a piece we phone you immediately so you can replace it with more of your work, this way you get full value out of your panel.

There is a once-off set up fee of 25 Euro for all admin and wrapping costs.
The Gallery is staffed. It is a part of the agreement when you sign up to display your work that you are available to meet the public for at least 2 hours a week.

This has proved very popular with people as they have sold work from their studios and received commissions in this time. Also it is not our policy to do any deals with the public, so this is your chance to give a good price on your work.
