Exhibition proposal guidelines & PROPOSAL FORM
PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES VERY CAREFULLY. IF SELECTED FOR EXHIBITION, THE EXHIBITOR MUST COVER CERTAIN COSTS.
There are two separate CCP Exhibition Proposal Guidelines, one for individual artists and another for curated exhibitions.
Proposals may be submitted to CCP at any time during the year and are reviewed twice annually for the following year’s program. The due date for exhibition proposals for the next review process is Friday 1 October 2010 for exhibitions in mid to late 2011.
The due date for exhibition proposals for 2012 will be on Friday 6 May 2011.
Exhibitions in CCP’s five spaces change approximately every seven or eight weeks and feature the work of local, interstate, and international artists. Proposals are accepted from artists and curators and are limited to one per applicant, per year. Proposals are considered by an exhibition advisory committee that includes CCP Director, CCP General Manager, CCP Managing Curator, CCP Associate Curator, a representative from CCP’s Board of Management as well as two independent artists or curators.
Proposals should clearly indicate whether the supporting images are the works to be exhibited or indicative works.
Due to high demand, proposals for solo exhibitions in 2011 will not be considered from artists who presented or will present solo exhibitions at CCP in 2009 or 2010.
Please note: Selection preference is given to works not previously exhibited in Melbourne.

INSTALLATION
Installation and de-installation are the responsibility of the exhibiting artist(s). Advice and assistance should be sought from CCP staff, however CCP does not provide professional installation staff. CCP can provide advice on preferred installation technicians if required and make the arrangements on the behalf of artists. The Director’s approval must be sought before any alteration to the gallery is made (eg. colour, surface, partition). The artist must pay and arrange for any alteration and subsequent return of the gallery to its original condition, which in many instances must be undertaken by CCP’s preferred contractors.
INSURANCE
Please note that the artist’s work and any technical equipment that accompanies the exhibition which is not supplied by CCP are not covered by CCP’s content insurance. The work and technical equipment is only insured on the premises against loss or damage caused directly by the negligence of CCP staff. Exhibitors wishing to be fully insured against theft, fire, flood, loss or damage must organise this independently in consultation with CCP staff. Any artist whose exhibition involves technical equipment must discuss insurance arrangements in advance with the CCP Curator and in most cases, must cover additional costs incurred.
EQUIPMENT
CCP makes some equipment available for use by exhibiting artists. In some cases, a nominal fee is charged. Artists wishing to use CCP equipment must contact the gallery for further details. Bookings need to be made well in advance.
PLEASE NOTE: CCP DOES NOT HAVE CLIMATE CONTROL IN ANY OF THE EXHIBITION SPACES.
