Wall of Frame ARTWORK SUBMISSIONS


We love supporting new and upcoming local artists and we do this by providing a wall space to display artwork each month. We host a new artist each month in our bustling café – commission free.

If you’d like to submit your work for consideration please read the following guidelines, email us some examples of your work and tell us a little bit about yourself.

We created these guidelines for each artist to follow when displaying their work. If you’d like to make a submission, or you have any other questions please feel free to contact us via email, marketing@thegrubclub.com.au.


WALL OF FRAME GUIDELINES

Please ensure you’ve read the below guidelines prior to submission. Thank you!

  • The wall measures 2800mm long x 1800mm high; along this wall, we have a picture hanging system that can display 3-5 pieces of art depending on the size of each piece. Works are to be no bigger than 700mm high to avoid any damage that could occur if they were too close to customer contact. Please visit the cafe to take a look at how the work is displayed to have an understanding of the space before applying.

  • The pieces must be presented as a complete collection of work; therefore, they must all sit together aesthetically. All works need to be framed neatly and appropriately. Mounted canvases may not need to be framed. Works are required to be a consistent height across all pieces. However, widths can vary. Please see the display examples at the bottom of this web page.

  • Please provide a small A4 blurb including a little about yourself, contact details and a price list, and we will display this with your artwork. There is also space for you to provide business cards if you like.

  • If a customer wishes to purchase your work, we will pass on your details for them to get in touch with you directly. We do not take payment for your work through the café. We ask all artists to deal with payments and delivery of their art.

  • If you have been given an opportunity to display your work, we will contact you to confirm the date we plan to hang your work. Sundays at 4pm are when artists deinstall and install their works when the café is closed. In order for us to give equal opportunity to the next artist, please pick up your art on the arranged date, as storage space is limited at the café.

  • While we do our best to maintain the café daily, the artist agrees to hang their work at their own risk, and The General Food Store is not liable for any damage to artwork.

  • Finally, we love sharing your work with our customers, and we ask that you share the love about us with your friends and followers, either through conversation or through social media with our @thegeneralfoodstore handle. Thank you!
