We believe in providing a platform for emerging artists to showcase their talents, who otherwise may never have the opportunity to display their works in a gallery setting.
Each month a different curator organizes a show – utilizing available gallery walls. Spaces can be shared and shows can include unlimited artists, space providing.
Flemington DIY offers 3 gallery spaces of various sizes for solo or group exhibits and installations, and other uses. A minimum donation of $200-500 (sliding scale) is required per show, depending on which of the 3 gallery spaces are requested, and must be presented day-of installation.
A $50 deposit is required to hold the dates, which will be returned or put toward final donation. Cash, check, or credit card are accepted. If funds are an obstacle, please reach out. All art shows will remain on display for a minimum of one month, unless otherwise stated, with any sold art remaining on display (marked sold) through the end of the exhibit. Artists and curators must give 3 months notice for cancellations in order to receive deposit back.
Flemington DIY does not take any commission from sales of any work. If work is for sale, payment is directly between the buyer and artist. Additionally, Flemington DIY is not responsible for any damaged art.
Artists are welcome to have light refreshments (no alcohol) and live music at the scheduled opening reception. It is strongly encouraged to promote yourself to friends and family, and on social media. Flemington DIY will also promote on its media channels. Pieces must be ready to hang (on our wire-hanging system) on the day of installation.
For available wall space and gallery dimensions, view our full floor plan.
It is the artist’s responsibility to retrieve work in the time frame agreed upon. It is the artist’s/curator’s responsibility to:
(1) provide Flemington DIY with a flyer promoting the show (include logo)
(2) coordinate install/tear down dates with Flemington DIY representative
(3) create and hang title cards when installing
(4) repair and repaint walls (materials provided), on day of tear down
(5) provide volunteers (or yourself) for open hours outside of opening reception
Terms: Members will get priority on selecting dates, when available. Unless otherwise agreed upon, at end of show, artists are expected to retrieve their artwork from the premises of Flemington DIY. If the artwork(s) is/are not retrieved at tear down or agreed upon date, they will be forfeited to Flemington DIY to be sold to benefit the organization or disposed of.
