As mentioned on my studio practice blog, I've contacted a number of local venues hoping to hold an exhibition of my own. Old Red Bus Station got back to me, and yesterday I went to talk with the events organisers.
Set-up
• Some frames are available, but pins and wall hooks would be better
• A mixture of sizes for artwork would be easier to display (like a collage layout)
• Would be best if I set up on the day before, preferably through the day time
Dates
• May 23rd is the preliminary date
• It will also be featured on the itinerary for Come Find Us on 1st June
Selling
• If I am wanting to sell original works, ORBS take 20% commission, and I would need to provide a clear list of prices (e.g. on a spreadsheet)
• A space will be available to put out zines and smaller products for me to sell. Commission wasn't mentioned for these
Promotion
• Posters, flyers, social media. I will have to create these and send them over
• Labels for walls required (e.g. names of pieces, my name, medium, etc)
• I could also create a banner for the space
• ORBS will take care of creating events pages and circulating posters, etc
Launch
• A launch party is an option, and if possible, live music/DJ would be preffered
