MEMBER ARTISTS PANEL DISPLAYS, RETAIL AND PROMOTION OF ARTIST

​

• Member Artists can rent display panels @ $25 per panel to promote and/or sell their work. Panel size: 1.2m wide x 2.4m high. Max of 2 panels per artist. Colour of panels: black

• It is cash and carry so sold work can be taken by purchaser, allowing panels to be restocked. Sales will be processed at the helpdesk with an EFTPOS machine, or cash. Funds will be transferred to artists 14 working days (after 26 May 2025).  Please ensure your pricing is inclusive of the 25% commission due to Waitakere Arts.

• It is advisable that the artists, or a representative, should be present during the exhibition to promote their own work and engage with the public as much as possible. However, it is not an expectation to be present every day. Being at your station whenever possible, does help to engage the public and sell your art.

• Artist’s portfolios can be put on display if wanted. Each artist’s station will have a 1.2m floor space in front of panels wherein you will be able to place a small table to display smaller items such as calendars/cards etc for sale. Please ensure your table is small enough to allow free flow of traffic around your station. Be considerate of your fellow artists.

• There will be room in Shed 2 for artists live demonstrations if you would like to participate. This gives the opportunity to be interactive with the viewers and allow them to witness or participate in a creative process.
