Public exhibitions create a critical link between an audience and the exhibitor, stimulating thought, emotion and action in both parties and in unlimited areas.
Thanks to the generous support of New Zealand Steel, the Gallery in Franklin: The Centre in Pukekohe provides a flexible exhibition space with international-standard facilities. FACLT hires the Gallery, as a whole, to artists, art groups, and cultural, historical, educational or commercial organizations. These displays are alternated with FACLT's own exhibition programme, including an annual competition, festivals and special events.
Exhibition proposals are welcome. Click on the links below for all the information you need to submit a proposal and complete the exhibition process.
The Conditions of Hire document covers the process in detail, the Gallery Specifications document allows the artist/exhibitor to assess whether the space will be suitable for their project and the Proposal Form allows for the artist/exhibitor to formulate their ideas and submit it in the accepted format.
Artists/Exhibitors submit a proposal, which is reviewed by a panel who selects proposals based on their suitability to the Annual Gallery program and the objectives of the Trust. Once an artist/exhibitor has had their proposal approved they are to follow the Exhibition Schedule to ensure their exhibition is executed on time and with optimal promotion.
Proposals must be submitted at least 6 months in advance of an artist/exhibitor wanting to show, as the year quickly fills up and to allow for adequate time to apply for funding or pursue other sponsorship by the artist/exhibitor for their exhibition.
Please note: Any one interested in exhibiting may call the Gallery Officer for an appointment to discuss their ideas.
