What hanging system is used? A standard track and hook hanging system is installed in the gallery; the gallery owner may also use removable devices for light works. Please ensure the artwork has hanging wire on the back. Works that are not ready for hanging may not be displayed, yet are still eligible for prizes.

How do I price my artworks? Please be true to your artistic career. Price to the quality, size and time put into the artworks, time includes your career development. The idea of small works is that they are more accessible for gifting and purchase leading up to the holiday ‘gifting’ season. The price must include GST and 20% commission.
