Sleeping Giant Gallery will be hosting a 2 week exhibit in the month
... of November featuring over 200 artists from across Ontario.
The idea behind this exhibit is to create a different outlook on the
way art purchasing is portrayed and actually sell art "By the Pound".
Sleeping Giant will be transforming the entire gallery into a "meat market" with
counters, meat scales and a butcher station.
All art submitted must be done on either a standard gallery canvas
1.5 inches in depth or standard store bought wood panel also 1.5 in
depth ( so all material weighs the same )
Each artist can submit up to 3 pieces to this exhibit. Art will be
sold "by the pound" and placed on a meat scale with a set price per
pound. Prices will vary based on weight per pound, but as it stands
right now we are looking at somewhere around $250/pound.
Pieces can weigh less than a pound.
SG is accepting all forms of art so long as it's done on the above
materials, photography will be accepted as well.
Art can be purchased and taken on the spot and our "meat packers" will
be on site to package the works.
SG will also have a "sample station" where prints of work will be
available for purchase ( picture a salad bar where you would purchase
fresh salad, but instead it's prints ). All prints will be sold by the
gram.
Every artist submitting is required to pay a $20 hanging fee to secure
their place in the exhibit and that allows you to submit up to 3
pieces ( each no bigger than 2feet x 2feet )
Anyone interested in selling prints will pay an additional $5 fee and
can submit up to 30 prints of their work on any size/quality paper.
Remember prints are weighed by the gram.
Exhibit will run 2 weeks, with an opening reception organized by the
gallery with live music, food and drinks, as well we will have
multiple employees running the different stations taking care of sales
and gallery sitting for the 2 weeks the show is up.
Anyone interested in participating must send a detailed message to
sleepinggiantbythepound@gm
submitting ( 1-3 )
If an e-mail is not sent to the above address, your submissions will be over looked due to the number of artists were dealing with for this specific
show.
