• Non-members can apply by paying a $10 Admin Fee. If a non-member has work accepted into the exhibition, they will be required to purchase a Maker Membership prior to being included in the exhibition. If this fee is a financial barrier, or if you have any questions, please get in touch at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
• Submitted works must be for sale, and can include both production and one-of-a-kind pieces.
• Colborne Street Gallery takes a commission split of 50% on all sales. A consignment agreement will be sent to all successful applicants, and a signed copy is required prior to the exhibition.
• Artists are responsible for the shipping, delivery, and pick up of their work, both to and from the Gallery.
• All work must arrive at the Gallery wrapped and protected. Unwrapped work is at risk of damage and is not the responsibility of the Gallery.
• All work must arrive at the Gallery ready for display. If work is not ready for display, the Gallery cannot guarantee the work will be shown. Works that are to be hung on the wall must have a wire, hooks, and/or D-rings on the reverse. The hanging system at the Gallery is a picture rail system where unframed works do not hang well. Please note the hooks for hanging are 5/8” (15.875 mm) wide, so the D-ring must be wide enough for the hook to fit through. If the work is freestanding sculpture, it must be able to safely stand on its own, and multiple-piece installation work must have instructions.
• Once work has been received and inspected at the Gallery, it is insured under the Gallery policy.
• The Gallery is responsible for the installation of the exhibition.
