Exhibition Agreement for Sonic Visions

​

It is hereby understood that:

 

Only the work of GAN Subscribers ($25 annually at ganarts.ca/plans-pricing) and students will be shown

. 

The artist will allow their work to be curated and shown with that of other GAN artists in a display designed by the GAN Exhibition Committee. This will be based on what the committee believes will make a thematic statement and/or an aesthetically pleasing presentation in the space available.

​

The artist is asked to provide an 8.5 x 11” page giving your name; the work’s title and medium; an artist’s statement about the work, the title of the music that inspired you, its genre (rock, jazz, rap, classical, house, etc.) and the performer. This information may be displayed in a binder accompanying the exhibition. 

 

The provision of the artist’s contact information may lead to sales. If a sale is made through exposure in the show, it is customary that a 20% (or more) donation be made to the GAN.

​

While efforts will be made to keep the work safe, the artist should know that the work will be displayed in a space that may occasionally be unsupervised. The GAN is hereby released from liability for damage or loss of the work displayed including digital theft.

​

The artist agrees to keep their work in the show for its duration (estimated: late June, 2025) and allows images of their work to be included in GAN promotional materials, social media, and/or website unless otherwise stated. ​​
