Exhibition proposal guidelines
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 one for curated exhibitions.
Proposals may be submitted to CCP at any time during the year and are reviewed annually for the following year’s program. Proposals are accepted from artists and curators (please fill in the applicable form) and are limited to one per applicant, per year. The deadline for the next review process is 1 May 2009 for exhibition in 2010.
Exhibitions in CCP’s five spaces change approximately every six weeks and feature the work of local, interstate, and international artists. Proposals are considered by selection committees which normally include the CCP Director, Deputy Director, Curator and a representative from CCP’s Board of Management, as well as independent artists and critics.
Please note: We prefer work that has not previously been widely seen in Melbourne.

INSTALLATION
Installation and de-installation are the responsibility of the exhibiting artist(s). Advice and assistance should be sought from CCP staff and volunteers, however CCP does not provide professional installation staff. CCP can provide advice on preferred art installation contractors if required. 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.
INSURANCE
The Exhibition, including any Exhibitor’s work and/or equipment therein, is insured ONLY whilst at the CCP premises against loss or damage caused directly by the negligence of CCP. The Exhibition is not otherwise covered by CCP’s insurance. Exhibitors wishing to be fully insured against theft, fire, flood, loss or damage must organise this independently in consultation with CCP. Any artist whose exhibition involves technical equipment must discuss insurance arrangements with the CCP Director, Curator, or Deputy Director and in certain cases, must cover additional costs incurred.
CCP does not have climate control in the gallery spaces.
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.
