Exhibition proposals
Artstation welcomes exhibition proposals.
The Artstation Gallery is a public gallery showing a wide range of culturally
diverse exhibitions, appealing to a broad cross section of viewers. The stated aim
is to provide a professional space for emerging artists to exhibit quality work
which is representative of the wider community. The exhibitions are selected by
the Artstation curatorial group which meet three times a year.
The gallery is situated on the first floor of the Artstation building. The large
rectangular space is 10 x 8 metres and has a ceiling height of 3.3 metres. The walls
have a flexible panelling system which allow the seven windows in the gallery to
be covered or uncovered. The gallery has track lighting and multiple power outlets.
Artstation welcomes proposals from the following groups:
- artists and curators working in a community context
- new and emerging artists, including tertiary students and recent graduates
- Tangata whenua arts and culture
- cultural groups.
And from groups that will present exhibitions which:
- comment on community and social issues
- involve community and/or audience participation.
Please note priority is given to group exhibitions.
