Deadline:
October 14, 2017
It’s that time of the year again – and the
Friends of the Tatham Art Gallery (FOTAG) committee invites artists to start
planning for the Fabulous Picture Show.
This annual auction is held in the Tatham
Art Gallery in Pietermaritzburg to raise funds for the purchase of new art
works for its permanent collection.
Artists are invited to donate up to three
original, unframed works of art to FOTAG. Signed, editioned, original digital
prints are welcome, but not prints of existing originals.
Boards and canvases are restricted to a
maximum standard A4 only (21cm by 27.9cm). For works on paper, the image should
be no bigger than 13cm by 21.7cm, to allow for mounting.
All 2D art works in the prescribed sizes
will be framed by FOTAG, and hung by gallery staff. 3D works are also welcome,
but the size should not exceed A4 dimensions.
The final deadline for submissions is October
14, with the exhibition running from November 12 at 14h00 to November 24 at 16h00.
The auction will take place from 18h00 on November 24.
Please note that acceptance of all art work
is at the discretion of the FOTAG Committee. Artists will be offered first
option should their art works not be sold at the auction. There is a reserve
price of R200 on every art work and the auction is silent up to R800, after
which art works are sold by live auction. Should you be unable to attend, proxy
bids can be arranged.
