Exhibition opportunities

There are 8 double-sided light boxes (16 artworks in total) and each light box is a 3-metre tall, cor-ten steel and glass box, centrally divided by LED panels. There are 8 small labels on the road side of the light boxes.

Light box artworks are digital files printed on vinyl that is adhered directly to the glass panel door of each light box. The front face of the artwork is adhesive and the printed images have a degree of translucency. The light boxes are lit at night, but not during the day.

The selected curator/artist manages the process of developing an exhibition in the light boxes from inception to realisation. This includes managing the grant budget and co-ordinating with printing and installation teams.

The Arts Advisor provides information, guidance and support throughout the process, including contacts and templates.

Artists and curators receive a fixed project grant of $18,000 (+ GST if applicable) from Council’s Public Art Fund to develop and deliver an exhibition in the light boxes.

The project grant covers all costs relating to the production and realisation of an exhibition. This includes artist’s/curator’s fees, printing, installation, publications, and any opening function. Council also assists to promote the exhibition in partnership with the artist and documents the exhibition.

If your exhibition is selected, you will be asked to submit a budget. The Arts Advisor can provide further advice and information about the costs associated with light box exhibitions.
