Jones Hallway Gallery Show

Policies

Eligibility – The Jones Hallway Gallery is open to all artists whether they are members of the Emporia Arts Council or not.

Quality – To present work (if the Gallery Coordinator has not found the artist) the artist must have images submitted and these images must be representative of the quality and nature of the work to be exhibited. EAC reserves the right to remove any work that is felt to be unacceptable. Work deemed inappropriate may be removed at the discretion of the Gallery Manager, Executive Director and/or Board of Directors.

Previously Shown Work – Gallery visitors expect to see new work when they visit, so work previously shown in the Trusler Gallery may not be shown again.

Installation – Artists are expected to transport their work to and from the gallery and incur all costs associated with transportation and/or shipping. Installation of the artwork and installation design decisions will be made by the Gallery Manager.

Inventory – Each exhibiting artist shall provide an accurate inventory of work on exhibit, using the gallery’s standardized form. This list shall be provided no later than the date of delivery of the work to the gallery. 2D work MUST be framed to be hung in the Hallway Gallery unless approved by the Gallery Manager.

Sales – EAC will handle all sales of artwork and collect and pay sales tax. Artists shall receive a 60% payment for items sold, and EAC will withhold a 40% commission. Should an artist make arrangements to sell artwork displayed in the gallery to a second party while said artwork is on display at EAC (to avoid paying the 40% commission), that artist shall be banned from showing in the Hallway Gallery in the future. Artist payment checks will be mailed no later than 30 days after the completion of the exhibition.

Removal of Artwork – All work must remain in the gallery for the duration of the show. This means through the closing of the gallery on the last scheduled day of a show. Artwork sold during the show may be picked up by the purchaser at the end of the last full day of the show. Unless other arrangements are made, unsold artwork not picked up within ten (10) business days following the last day of the show will become the property of EAC and will be disposed of at their discretion.

Artist’s Presence – For visitors, the gallery experience is greatly enhanced by the opportunity to talk with the artists themselves, and research has proven that sales increase when the artist is present. Therefore, artists are expected to be present for the entire opening reception. They are also strongly encouraged to be present for any Art Walk or special events that fall during their shows.

Publicity –EAC will provide social media promotion on our website, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. Each artist must provide three high resolution (300 dpi) images for promotional use no later than two months before the beginning date of the show.

Hours of Operation – EAC is open to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Tuesday through Friday and from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Additionally, on the First Friday of each month EAC is open until 8:00 p.m. to accommodate the Emporia First Friday Art Walk. Artists may not enter the building at any other time, nor may they use the gallery for any purpose other than the exhibition of their artwork without the permission of the Gallery Manager.

Liability – Although EAC has a security system in place and a staff member present during all business hours, artists are encouraged to insure their own work as no insurance coverage is provided by the Emporia Arts Council. While all artworks will be handled with the utmost care, EAC may not be held liable for damage to or loss of the artist’s work.
