Commission and Payment

  3. GST declaration - for taxation purposes, artists are required to supply an ABN or complete the declaration stating that they are a hobby artist and do not earn over $10,000 pa from their art. Without either of these, the Government requires that 48.5% of payments due to artists be withheld.

Submission Rules

  1. Exhibiting artists must be over the age of 16 years.
  2. No work previously exhibited at the MountView Art Show shall be entered.
  3. Each artwork must be available for sale. Artists must determine the price and include that price on the entry form which will then be shown as the catalogue price. The catalogue price is an authority to the Organisers to display and sell the artwork at that price. The Organisers’ commission remains based on the catalogue price.
  4. Alterations to the catalogue price must be requested in writing to the Organisers.
  5. Donated artworks - donated artworks provide a 100% contribution to the School and are gratefully accepted. A selection of donated artworks will be auctioned in the Main Auction. Additional donated artwork may be sold in the Silent Auction or in the Exhibition at a price nominated by the artist and will be clearly marked as donated artwork. It is the responsibility of guest artists to nominate a reserve price and “valued at” price to assist with sales. The stated reserve price will be presented as the starting bid for items offered in the Silent Auction.
  6. Only one artwork of greater than 1 sq.m (including frame) will be accepted due to limited hanging space. This excludes donated artwork.
  7. Any number of paintings may be submitted for consideration for hanging or display, however a maximum of 3 works may be accepted (excluding donated artworks)
  8. The Organisers cannot guarantee that all 3 exhibition artworks will be hung as this is subject to available space. Acceptance fees will be refunded if accepted artworks are not hung due to space limitations.
  9. Pairs (diptych) or trios (triptych) will be accepted as one entry for one entry fee, however the total square area of both or all three works must fall within the limit prescribed above (1 sq.m). The works will be hung together and sold as one item for the price quoted on the entry form.
  10. Non-original artworks (copy or reproduction) will not be accepted.
  11. Each work submitted must be suitably framed or professionally presented e.g. stretched canvas is acceptable,  and submitted with self-tapping screws or other flush hangers or substantial hanging wire. The staple heads on edges of stretched canvasses are to be professionally finished off and covered (tapes or battens). Any works delivered NOT meeting these criteria will not be accepted and submission and acceptance fees will be not refunded.
  12. The Organisers reserve the right to reject any artwork. Any works that are inadequately framed, with inadequate means of hanging, damaged on arrival, oversize, of an inappropriate or pornographic nature (as so judged by selection panel), or wet paintings (as so judged by selection panel), will not be accepted. As this is a community event, works deemed to be offensive by the Organisers will not be hung. The Organisers reserve the right to withdraw any work at any time from the exhibition.
  13. Artworks that are not accompanied by an image when entries are closed may not be accepted. The selection panel will, at their total discretion, decide whether to accept the entered work for hanging if it is not accompanied by an image. We understand some artists may not have finished their artwork prior to the closing of acceptance. If entry is accepted, we will accept images up to one week prior to the Gala Opening.
  14. Each work must have attached to the back of it an artwork label which will be supplied.
  15. The Selection Panel who are appointed by the Organisers will consider all submitted artworks. The Selection Panel’s decision shall be final.
  16. The Organisers reserve the right not to accept an entry where no GST information is provided, or where incomplete information is given.
