Proposals to exhibit at Pan Gallery

Our rationale is to provide an exhibition space for emerging and established artists with a programme spanning solo, two-person and curated group shows.

Exhibitions are of two or four weeks duration and the cost of exhibiting is $440 for two weeks or $660 for four weeks (inclusive of GST) plus the printing cost of the invitation. A 50% deposit will be required on confirmation of exhibition booking with the balanced paid prior to installation. Pan Gallery collects a 30% commission on the sale of art work. The gallery undertakes the artwork for a DL postcard sized exhibition invitation.

Proposals are received and considered on an ongoing basis.

The gallery is also available for shorter events such as performance and other arts-related functions providing they do not interfere with previously booked exhibitions.

PLINTHS  2 x small (60cm x 60cm x 60cm height) 4 x medium (60cm x 60cm x 80cm height) 4 x large (60cm x 60cm x 100cm height) 2 x long (240cm x 60cm x 60cm height) 6 x tall (30cm x 30cm x 100cm height) 8 x extra tall (24cm x 24cm x 124cm height)

Gallery space and floor plan

Pan Gallery inhabits a large corner at the rear of the pottery supply shop. The two walls  (top and right in the floor plan above) are white and the floor is sealed grey concrete. To the left as you look at the space is a doorway leading to the kilns and manufacturing area. The space can be lit by four fluorescent lights and/or three rows of halogen track lighting with adjustable spots. Twenty-six plinths of various sizes are available for use but artists are welcome to provide alternative display equipment. The area is accessible by forklift. 

Application procedure

Pan Gallery accepts proposals from individual artists, collaborations between two or more artists and artist groups with or without a curator. The decision to host the exhibition is made by the gallery manager and the owners of Northcote Pottery Supplies on the basis that the proposal meets with one or more of the aims of the gallery.

Proposals are to be mailed or delivered in person. There is no application form as such but the following offers guidelines for the presentation of proposals.

Exhibition Description  one printed page and as a word document on CD
