Space available at BECA
Dear artists,
Between June '08 - Jan. '09 we will be making an exhibit space available to artists who do not currently have a public space or gallery in New Orleans in which to exhibit their work. Since BECA gallery will be creating several group exhibition opptys. for artists through Feb. 09 this is an alternative that will allow artists a small dedicated space in the gallery in which to exhibit their own work exclusively. This wouldn't be a good fit for an artist who already has exhibit opptys. here in New Orleans.
The dedicated space measures a total of approx. 30 linear feet of wall space and 72 square feet of space. For those of you who have not see our gallery space, there are high ceilings and multiple exposed metal rafters from which to install suspended work as well. If your work is video, film, performance please know that we do not have equipment on site but there is one electrical outlet dedicated to this space for your use. Please note that all work must be contained within this dedicated space so it may or may not work well for film or performance.
In lieu of our gallery's customary 50/50 split between artist/gallery, artists will retain 100% of their sales in exchange for a space rental fee of $400/mo. plus $30-$50 for one display of exhibit lettering. This fee covers your location across the street from the Contemporary Arts Center, climate controlled exhibit space, utilities, security, fine art insurance, public accessibility and gallery staffing Wed - Sun (11am - 4pm) and 6pm-9pm on first Sat's Art Walk night with reception including food and beverage, inclusion in gallery's print, web and email promotion. Only one artist may rent and exhibit at a time. If you wish to share the space for the month with another artist, you may do so with each of you exhibiting for 1/2 month each. There will be a $200 deposit due upon your space reservation. This is refundable once you leave the space in the condition in which you found it for the next artist.
New Orleans artists will be given first priority through May 15th for an appt. to review their work for this dedicated space. We will schedule appts. in the order in which we receive your email. We will let you know during that appt. whether or not we can allocate this space for your work and what months remain available. Beginning May 16th we will begin holding appts. with artists residing outside of New Orleans for whatever time slots remain available. The following months are currently available:
June 2008
July 2008
Sept. 2008
If you're are interested, please send us an email requesting an appt. time to review your work.
Best regards,
~ Melissa + Kurt
