New 2011 Gallery Commission and Rental Rates
The Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre (“WMVAC”) is a not-for-profit organization. In 2010, the WMVAC embarked on a strategic plan with a vision of becoming a centre of excellence for the visual arts and a mission, among others, of creating and sustaining the visual arts community.
As one of the strategies to achieve its vision and mission, the WMVAC is implementing new gallery commission and rental rates for 2011 that will apply to all artists. The new rates (net of HST) for Guest and Outside Artists are as follows:
Commission rate for the sale of artwork in the gallery
Regular consignment sales - 40%
Group and exclusive gallery shows – 30%
Rental rates for group and exclusive shows in the gallery
Single artist for 2 weeks show- $150 per week
Single artist for > 2 weeks show - $125 per week
Two or more artists for 2 weeks show - $250 per week
Two or more artists for > 2 weeks show - $200 per week
These new rates will become effective March 1, 2011, and they will continue to be in effect until 30 day notice is given of any changes thereto by posting on the WMVAC’s website: www.williamsmill.com. The new rates will apply to all sales of artwork and all gallery shows, which occur after February 2011.
As a priority, the current policies for consignment sales and gallery shows, including the responsibilities and payment terms for both artists and the WMVAC Gallery are currently being reviewed and updated. These will be published on the WMVAC’s website very soon.
We are excited about what the future holds for the WMVAC and for all the talented artists we have the privilege of showcasing in our gallery and who form part of our community. We are working hard to achieve our vision of creating a centre of excellence for the visual arts, artists and education.
Please contact Karen Potter, Gallery Coordinator, should you have any questions concerning this notice (gallery@williamsmill.com).
Thank you from the Board Members of the WMVAC.
