Having your own exhibition is a great way to share your work with the world! BRAG Wall is a community exhibition space, offering community groups, schools, young people and emerging artists an opportunity to exhibit their work affordably. BRAG Wall includes the lower and upper hallways in the administration section of the building. If required, the Dance Studio can also be used as an exhibition space in consultation with BRAG staff. BRAG Wall exhibitions usually run for between 2 weeks and one month. Applications are accepted all year round. If you are looking for specific dates then it is best to get in touch well in advance, as places can fill up quickly. If you have any queries, please contact us to discuss!

Useful Information Hanging your artworks: Works must be wall mounted. Unfortunately, due to the thoroughfare nature of the spaces, free standing sculptural work cannot be exhibited in the BRAG Wall. How to hang in BRAG Wall: BRAG Wall s hanging system is a rail at the height of 177cm. Framed artworks or works on canvas can be fitted with L hooks, which hook onto this rail. You can buy L hooks at a hardware store. Simply screw them into the back of the frame or canvas frame at the right height. Unframed artworks can also be hung, but check your options with BRAG Staff in advance. There are 2 ways to hang your exhibition. The method you choose will depend on how you want it to look and what kind of artworks you have. We suggest the first method for most BRAG Wall exhibitions, however if all your works are large then the second may be more suitable. Hanging method 1: Hanging method 2: 4 P a g e
Pricing your artworks: BRAG takes a commission of 20% on all BRAG Wall artwork sales. Please ensure that you factor this commission into the price you ask for your artworks. A 2% GST charge will also apply for artists who are not registered for GST. Please note if an artist wishes to display a work that is not for sale, please enter NFS instead of a price in the labels spreadsheet. Costs: We try to keep costs for BRAG Wall exhibitions to a minimum. Mandatory Costs: Administration Fee $50 Additional Costs (only incurred if you use these services): BRAG Staff help to hang exhibition - $45/hr Room hire for exhibition functions (openings and closings) - $20/hr Printing/Photocopying HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? Holding an exhibition function: Sometimes it s nice to hold an opening or closing event for your exhibition.

Staffing, catering and room set up are your responsibility. No alcohol can be served at BRAG Wall exhibition events, but tea and coffee facilities are available on request. 5 P a g e
