EXHIBITIONS
Project Gallery’s space is available for group or solo exhibitions throughout the year. We regularly collaborate with individual artists, collectives, groups, curators, and organizations to facilitate high-‐quality art exhibitions.
Project Gallery Front Space
Applications for exhibitions are reviewed and assessed based on creative vision, feasibility, strength, and artistic merit. Organizing parties are responsible for the contribution or collection of gallery rental fees for their event/exhibit. The gallery will be responsible for transacting all sales and accept a 15-‐25% commission of artwork sales. To ensure a high standard of exhibition quality, the rental prices listed on the next page are inclusive of hanging and curatorial assistance, significant promotional/publicity services, and reception catering and photography.
Project Gallery Back Space
The gallery’s weekly turnover occurs on Wednesday evenings, so all rentals are from Wednesday at 7pm, until the following, or subsequent Wednesday at 7pm. Receptions are typically held on Thursday evenings or Saturday afternoons. Exhibitors interested in having alcohol served at their exhibition will be required to apply for an SOP permit a minimum of 10 days before their intended opening reception. And to operate bar in accordance with guidelines to the best of their abilities, for some events the gallery may be able to provide an endorsed caterer to manage alcohol sales and distribution.

RENTAL RATES
Gallery rental rates vary depending on longevity of the exhibition, space required, and gallery commission. See Page 3 for a floor plan showing the spaces available. Fees may be offset by commission negotiations on a case-‐on-‐case basis.
