PROPOSALS 2012:

We are considering proposals for exhibitions, events & festivals at Depot Galleries and Kerr Street in Devonport for the second half of 2012.

The Depot is a thriving creative community in Devonport. With a clear vision, strong philosophy of inclusiveness and a large helping of community can-do The Depot offers a variety of facilities and services to support and nourish the creative spirit.

The Depot philosophy, creating an environment which encourages creating, is brought to life by the approach we hold in regards to exhibiting work. We don’t need to know which art school you attended, who bought your work, or whether you can write a 2000 word essay backing up your images; all we need to know is, “Are you committed?”

The proposal form for 2012 builds on what the Depot has learnt from organising exhibitions and events over 15 years; its intention is to ensure an event/exhibition which is fulfilling to both the organiser and audience and which draws on and maximises other opportunities in the local and wider communities.

There are several options for spaces to exhibit work or put on events or festivals, all of which are detailed below in the proposal form.
You can download the proposal document below or pick it up from the front desk at The Depot. We look forward to reading your creative proposal.

In your proposal we invite you to tell us about your ideas. Once accepted, details regarding costs, times etc will be covered in your contract.

Here is the contract for your information:  MAIN GALLERY CONTRACT

EXHIBITION/EVENT SPACES

DEPOT GALLERIES:

The Main Gallery is a large industrial space that is excellent for large bodies of work or group shows. This gallery also offers you the opportunity for exploration of collaborative exhibitions and projects using the new movable walls.These walls offer exciting opportunities to re-configure the Main Gallery space to create spaces within exhibitions, and to create new intimate gallery spaces for exhibitions, installations, performance and collaborative projects.

Outerspace gallery is situated just beyond the Main Gallery and is best for solo shows, installations, film, sound, and experimental work.

Front Room art & object is situated street-front and offers Depot members the opportunity to show work in a prime retail setting at no extra cost to membership. While artists who are serious about ‘getting their work out there’ will benefit the most, Front Room will remain true to the value of inclusiveness by providing an opportunity for all members to submit and show their work.

KERR ST ARTSPACE:

There are exhibition, workshop, performance spaces and meeting rooms available at Kerr St Artspace, situated in a prime position on the foothill of Mount Victoria.

SATELLITE GALLERY:

Satellite Gallery is in Newton. Auckland Central, and is a professional, contemporary gallery for exhibiting artists.  Satellite is also home to The Vernacular Lounge, an intimate living room where the influences that shape New Zealand’s distinctive cultural identity as defined by its art, architecture, literature, film and other cultural forms, are discussed, debated, explored and celebrated.  Visit www.satellitegallery.co.nz for more information.
