      • Fenelon Station Gallery Guidelines

        Quality of Work- Visual Arts

        • Paintings should be of high caliber and tasteful
        • All “prints” must be labeled as reproductions.
        • Framing must be of high quality (i.e. no chips, dents etc. and properly wired).
        • No work on canvas that is damaged will be accepted (i.e. torn).
        • Gallery quality canvases are preferred.
        • If the canvas is not framed, all sides must be painted.
        • Canvases with staples on the side must be framed.
        • Unframed originals/reproductions must be matted and presented in plastic sleeves.
        • Cards for sale must be presented in plastic sleeves.

        Quality of Work- Other Media

        • All work must be of the quality standards of their respective Guilds (i.e. Pottery Guild, Wood Guild, etc.).
        • No product that is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way is allowed.
        • All vessels not food safe must be marked.

        Labeling and Inventory

        • Tags labeling paintings should be no larger than business card size and placed at the lower right side of the painting.  Labels should include: original medium/reproduction, artist’s name, price, title or inventory number with the artist’s initials (i.e. JT175)
        • Labels for structural and 3-dimentional work may be stickers or tie-on tags and should include: price, title or inventory number with the artist’s initials (i.e. JT175)
        • Should labels become faded or worn, they must be replaced.
        • It is the responsibility of the artist to submit an inventory list including all the labeling information for each item offered for sale.
        • Inventory lists will be filed in the Gallery Inventory Binder.
        • It is the responsibility of each artist to update his/her inventory list with additional/replacement product information.

        In General

        • The Fenelon Station Gallery is not responsible for any damage or theft.  It is the responsibility of each artist to carry theft and liability insurance.
        • Artists are expected to work the required number of days in the gallery as determined at the beginning of the season.  If for any reason, a member is unable to gallery sit at a designated time, he/she must arrange for a substitute member as a replacement and inform the scheduler of the change.
        • Work from new applicants will be juried by a Jurying committee. 
        • Work of a different medium, other than that which the member has been juried, must be approved before being allowed for sale.  (i.e. If a painter is also producing sculptural work, the sculptural work must also be juried for acceptance.)
        • Member artists of the gallery, working together to produce a collaborative work of mixed media, may have the piece juried.  Collaborative work with outside artists must be accepted by jury/executive members.
        • No reduced priced materials are allowed.
        • Removing work for shows/other venues, without replacements, is strictly prohibited. Replacement product is acceptable, with same size and quality only.
        • To avoid overcrowding, new work is only to be added when a member’s work is sold, or a request is made for additional work.

        Sales and Reimbursement

        • Our current rate of commission is 10%, but we reserve the right to change at our discretion.
        • Reimbursement for electronic sales will be issued twice; one payment midway through the season and one at the end of the season.

        Volunteer Commitment

        • All artists will be asked to help with some of the setup at the beginning of the season.
        • Will be required to participate in at least one of the operational functions:  executive positions, advertising, scheduling, jury, etc.
        • Provide an artist blog, images and an updated artist bio to be used on the Gallery’s social media.
      • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
