Tacit Contemporary Art is an artist-run gallery for hire in the up and coming inner-city suburb of Abbotsford, just a few minutes by car or bus from the renowned galleries of Collingwood, Fitzroy and the Gertrude precinct.
In January 2013, we moved to new premises less than 50 metres from the address we had established our name. With 400 square metres, 312 Johnston Street, Abbotsford could not be passed by. From two small galleries, we have become a true destination venue for art - seven exhibition spaces and 120 linear metres plus of exhibition wall space, including a phenomenal three and a half metres of display window onto the street. All our artists booked into the former galleries followed us across to the new venue - a wonderful endorsement and vote of confidence for us.
Our rates, in keeping with our objectives of supporting artists and the development of contemporary art, continue to be some of the most competitive in Australia. Please contact Keith Lawrence on 0423 323 188 or keith@tacitart.com.au for further details, gallery floor plans and submission details. Or simply follow the links below.We offer five ‘traditional’ galleries plus two special exhibition spaces, two display windows onto Johnston Street and a fully-staffed venue during standard opening hours, which now includes Wednesday. Our hours are 11am-6pm, Wed-Fri: 11am-5pm, Sat-Sun.
For simplicity sake, Galleries 1, 4 & 5 are priced the same - $400 per week. Each offers more than 20 linear metres, with G1 the largest at 22.3 metres and includes the window onto Johnston Street. With its raised floor and low ceiling, G1 is the more intimate of the three galleries - G4 & G5 each offer 3 metre high walls and large, open spaces emphasising the grandeur of the new premises.
Galleries 2 & 3 are also priced the same - $250 per week - and whilst similar in size to each other (13.5 metres), are very different in look and feel.
The Project Space is an intimate room of some eight linear metres and is perfect for small works while the Salon Wall is a five metre by three metre - wall! They are available for hire and by invitation.
Bookings are generally 3 weeks, although we have scheduled 2 x 2 week slots in 2014. We also offer 3 weeks for the price of 2 between 9 - 27 April (the Easter period). The Salon Wall and Project Space can be for longer, subject to discussion and availability. We charge a one-off install fee of $220 for G1, G4 & G5 and $110 for G2 & G3. It takes away all the concerns of the hanging, fixing lighting etc. You supply the work, we hang it for you! Drop it off on the Sunday morning before the opening, talk to us about your ideas and by the opening on the Wednesday evening, the exhibition will be ready to go. And what's more, price lists, website, Facebook will have already been done. We also cover the costs of a line listing in Art Almanac.A final payment of $110 is payable for opening night, which covers alcohol and soft drink costs (up to an agreed amount), bar staff, glasses, set up and clearance. You are responsible for the supply of any food. Openings take place on the first Wednesday of every exhibition and run from 6.30 - 8pm (free street parking is available outside the door). All exhibitions in the gallery open the same night. We'll look after the exhibition for you from there on in, dealing with all enquiries and sales. Tacit Contemporary Art takes 20% commission. Your details as an artist and information regarding the exhibition at the gallery remain on our website. This has, in the past, solicited further enquiry and sales regarding exhibitions long after they have gone.We offer discounts for package bookings of 3 and 4 weeks, but a 20% surcharge is payable for group shows of 3 or more artists.
