Making Exhibition Proposals:
The Blue Oyster makes one main call for proposals annually. The deadline for exhibitions occurring in 2008 has already past. There will be another call made in the first half of 2008 for 2009 exhibitions.
There will be other calls for proposals from time to time for specific projects during 2008 and proposals are welcome at any time but may not be considered immediately.
The proposals received will be discussed by a panel, generally made up of the current board members and the gallery manager, for inclusion in the programme.
The Blue Oyster prioritises projects that are speculative experimental and innovative in their genre. Age, sex and ethnicity are not used as criteria and will not influence the selection decisions. Non inclusion in the programme is not a reflection on the quality of the individual artist, high quality projects may still be declined for various programming reasons.
What should I include in my proposal?
You should apply in your own words but below are some suggestions for length and content.
1. Outline of the projects conceptual/ artistic/ political/ philosophical explorations. 200-400 words, maximum 1 page (A4)
2. Outline of the specifics of the proposed project and how you intend to address the space. As there is more than one space available, please indicate how much and what kind of space your project needs. Also indicate any special requirements, equipment or technical support. It may help to address the gallery flooplan.
1-2 pages (more if needed)
3. Examples of previous work that are strongly relevant to your proposed project. Where possible choose images that will give the panel a realistic sense of what your planned exhibition is likely to involve. Label the works with size medium and date, also make sure you label works in progress and studio shots.
3-4 images (no more than 10).
4. A concise C.V. that explains your professional background and experience.
5. Any other material that may help the panel assess your project, for example catalogues from previous work, letters of support, reviews.
Note: Please do not assume we are familiar with your work when submitting proposals. As the trust does change membership from time to time, some trust members may not be familiar with your work, even if you have previously shown with us.
Money/ Financial conditions:
The Gallery is supported entirely by grants. Our major contributor is Creative New Zealand supplemented where possible by smaller grants from various other sources (including Dunedin City Council and Community Trust of Otago)
Because our income is not stable the exact proportion of what we are able to provide is set every six months. Should your project be accepted, financial conditions will be notified in writing well before the commencement of setup.
We take no commissions on sales and will not prevent work being offered for sale but selling work, or to be more specific work that is focused on being saleable is not what the gallery is for, projects with strong commercial intent will generally not be accepted.
Available equipment:
The gallery owns two data projectors and DVD players, which need to be booked well in advance. We will help source equipment for projects as much as we can, however final responsibility for installing the project remains the artists.
