Proposal
2016
Depot
Artspace is a thriving creative community in Devonport. With a clear vision,
strong philosophy of inclusiveness and a large helping of community can-do
Depot Artspace offers a variety of facilities and services to support and
nourish the creative spirit.
We
are considering proposals for exhibitions, events and festivals in 2016. Before
you complete this form, read the philosophy below and the visit Depot Artspace
to meet us.
This
proposal must be completed digitally. Your proposal will be considered by our
gallery team. On acceptance of your proposal you will be contacted by the Exhibitions
Manager.
We
look forward to reading your creative proposal.
Philosophy and History
The
Depot Artspace philosophy of encouragement, support and inclusiveness has been
its touchstone since 1996, the year it opened, and has been the basis on which
the Depot has grown into a multi-disciplinary creative community encompassing
all art forms and supporting artists at many different levels and across all generations.
This philosophy is encapsulated in its circular mantra “creating an environment
that encourages creating….” Over the years the Depot has been responsive to
changing needs, interests, trends and opportunities and has developed
services, activities and programmes accordingly. Classical sociologist and
utopian, Lewis Mumford, in 1922 describes here the ideal society that the Depot
Artspace philosophy aspires to:
“A community whose life is not irrigated by art and philosophy is a
community that exists only half alive. The fundamental values of a true
community are to be found in poetry, art, music and the free use of the
imagination… the production of non-profit-making goods, the enjoyment of
non-consumable wealth. Here are the sustaining values of a living culture.”

Your Proposal
1. What are
you proposing? Is it an exhibition, and installation, a project, a performance,
an event, series of events or is it a festival?
It can be a great
idea to align your event/exhibition to existing festivals such as the Auckland
Photography Festival or Matariki celebrations. You could even start your own
festival and encourage others to take part.
2. What is
your artist/exhibition/event statement?
In 150 – 200 words
please tell us in third person about your exhibition /performance/event. This
will be used for promotional purposes. Your own quotes can be in first person.
3. Please
include your artists CV or biography.
This includes a brief
personal background, any tertiary education and/or your exhibition history
4. What could
you offer or suggest to engage and build your audience? Are you committed to
spending some time in the gallery with your exhibition? (including Sundays and
public holidays which are part of this agreement.)
Some examples are
artists’ talks, workshops or other complementary community events. Audiences
like to meet artists/curators. To engage visitors it is recommended that
artists spend time in the space to meet the visitors and discuss their
work/practice.
5. What are
your ideas for promotion before and during your event/exhibition/festival?
Promotion is a very
important part of your exhibition. Depot Artspace has a mailing list of over
2000 subscribers. Your exhibition will be promoted through our monthly
e-newsletter and in the Loud Magazine which is published and printed every 3
months and distributed to Depot Artspace Members. Selected articles may be
included in The Flagstaff, Channel Magazine, and local newspapers. We will also
promote your show on the Depot Artspace website, The Big Idea, Eventfinder,
Artsdiary www.artsdiary.co.nz,
Who Arted? A feature on 95bFM’s Morning Glory, Facebook and twitter, and
listings in Art News, Artists Alliance and The NZ Herald.
Please explain how you plan to promote your show? How will you use the
internet to promote your show? Do you have your own website? Will you use Facebook,
Twitter and other social media websites?
