Art Exhibitions at ACC
Welcome to the Alphington Community Centre exhibition space. We offer artists an opportunity to exhibit for one month across two connected rooms.
Artists with hung works are invited to submit an application. Suitable mediums include framed works on paper or canvas including paintings, digital prints, illustrations and photographs, along with 3D works suitable for hanging on walls such as woven works. There is also the opportunity to exhibit some small 3D objects as part of an exhibition, including sculpture, ceramics and jewellery that can be suitably showcased in glass cabinets.
Month long exhibitors need to be aware that this is a multi-use space and works must be suitable for such an environment.
We charge a small fee of $300 to enable both emerging and more experienced artists to access the space. This fee includes up to 4 hours of our staff time to support the exhibition - artists can choose to use this time to run an opening night event and/or access assistance with hanging/setting up the exhibition, assistance with curation of works or even assistance drafting artist statements and/or publicity material. Any additional assistance can be provided based on a fixed hourly rate.
Note that the space configuration is very amenable to two artists showing together (one in each room).
Our exhibition calendar is open from May through to November in 2021. Opening nights can be planned on the 3rd Friday of the month from 6pm-8pm.
As part of the exhibition, ACC will set up a dedicated page on our website and provide the opportunity for online sales along with links to the artists social media sites (artist to provide images, words, and links). Note that we do not take a commission but any bank fees associated with online sales will be borne by the artist.
ACC will help artists promote the exhibition on our social media sites and in our weekly neighbourhood newsletter. It is anticipated that artists generate their own audience if they are hosting an opening night event.
ACC offers 16 metres of hanging wall space across the two rooms, and all wires and hooks needed for hanging works. Note we have some frames, plinths and display cabinets available for use.
