one hundredth gallery has moved!

one hundredth gallery is an easy-going and enjoyable exhibition space dedicated to the exhibition and sale of artwork by aspiring and emerging artists. We also work with established artists who are trying something new.

After two years in Prahran, we have moved one hundredth gallery to a much bigger space at 200 Normanby Road, South Melbourne.

We have partnered with the kind people at Sidearm Cafe and are using their adjacent 500sqm room as our new exhibition space. Not only is the space ten times bigger than our previous gallery space; you will now be able to enjoy some breakfast or lunch with your art!

Entrance to the new gallery is via Sidearm and our opening hours will initially be the same as the cafe’s, Monday to Friday 7am – 4pm.

We look forward to seeing you soon at our new space.

Artists – submissions for the new gallery space are now open!

changing hours

As many of you know, I have a background in business. That means that everything that I want to manage is measured. Give me a date, and I’ll tell you how many people visited the gallery, how many views our website had, and how many sales we made!

The benefit of having all of these statistics is knowing that only 6% of people visit us on Wednesdays and Thursdays; with the other 94% of people visiting us during our opening nights, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

So starting 1 February 2012 (after Jodie Cooper’s solo exhibition), our new gallery hours will be 11am – 6pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

We will also be open at any time on any day by appointment and will still hold our opening nights on Thursdays or Fridays between 6pm and 9pm.

TopArts salon des refuses

Way back on 9 December 2011, we put a call out to all art students in VCE whose work wasn’t accepted into TopArts.

Unfortunately, the response wasn’t strong enough so we won’t be proceeding with an exhibition in 2012 .

We still believe it is a good idea and would love to run the exhibition in 2013, so please help us get the word out!

TopArts2013 Salon des Refuses

Are you an art student in VCE whose work wasn’t accepted into TopArts? Or do you know an art student in VCE whose work didn’t make the cut?

If there is enough interest, one hundredth gallery would like to hold a TopArts 2013 Salon des Refuses in late February 2013.

Salon des Refusés is a French for ‘exhibition of rejects’. It was generally used to describe an exhibition of works rejected by the jury of the official Paris Salon, but the term is now used widely to describe works that they may be too avant-garde for the mainstream exhibition (regardless of the venue). one hundredth gallery will sponsor this exhibition and is now calling for submissions from interested artists.

Submissions need to be no more than a page and should include a photo of the artwork along with its dimensions, details, medium etc. Submissions can be emailed to charles@100thgallery.com by 5 January 2013. If you would prefer to have a chat, please call on 0413 00 1234 or come into the gallery during any of our opening hours.

We will exhibit as many works as we can and may rotate works to provide as many new artists with an exhibition opportunity as possible.

 

The image below is of Le déjeuner sur l’herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass) by Édouard Manet. It was rejected by the Paris Salon in 1863. It now hangs in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

happy holidays!

one hundredth gallery would like to thank all of our artists, visitors, and buyers for your support throughout 2011.

one hundredth gallery was just an ‘idea’ at this time last year. In seven short months we have exhibited over 40 new artists; showed over 1,000 people through our gallery; and have had over 50,000 page views on our website.

one hundredth gallery will reopen on Thursday 5 January with ‘Utter Silence‘ by Simon O’Carrigan (Australia), Maria Ester Pena (Colombia), Gillian Warden (Australia), and Maria Antonietta Bevilacqua (Italy).

 

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and safe New Year!

merging fashion & art

one hundredth gallery is all about exhibiting aspiring and emerging artists, regardless of their craft or medium.

Tonight we open a showcase by fashion labels Bento and Edenborough Evans.

Bento was born in 2010 from the idea that all fashion didn’t have to be throwaway and fashion forward. Effortless, timeless and enduring, Bento is built on the principle of style that has longevity – both in terms of design and quality. Each and every Bento piece goes from concept to completion within 20km of their studio in Melbourne, Australia.

Edenborough Evans welds art with fashion. Appealing equally to clients such as the National Gallery of Victoria, Marie Claire magazine and celebrity fashionista Ruby Rose, the brand blends opulent Florentine design with Melbourne street style.

The showcase will be open to the public this Friday and Saturday (the 9th and 10th of December). Both labels are offering 20% off current season stock.

Where – one hundredth gallery, 49 Porter Street Prahran
When – Friday 9 December from 11am and Saturday 10 December from noon

The showcase will be held amongst our current exhibition, ‘Colour Study’ by Tony Edelman and Tina Alesi.

introducing one hundredth [agency]

We are very excited to announce that we have opened one hundredth agency – an offshoot of one hundredth gallery focused on representing and promoting aspiring and emerging artists’ artwork outside of the physical gallery space.

This business was due to start in mid-2012, however due to a significant volume of enquiries, we have fast-tracked the set up.

To date, we have focused on only promoting artists that have exhibited in our space.  one hundredth agency now gives us the opportunity to represent and promote artists that aren’t able to exhibit in the gallery for whatever reason.

In the spirit of one hundredth gallery, we aim to keep things very simple.

one hundredth agency will provide artists with the following services –

  • We will act as a contact point for sales of up to 12 of artworks (i.e. artists can use our contact details for sales enquiries – phone, email, and physical address)
  • Artists can use the gallery as a meeting place with interested buyers (kind of like their own serviced meeting room)
  • Artists will get a personalised online exhibition with up to 12 featured artworks and a dedicated URL to use wherever they please (http://100thgallery.com/your-name)
  • Promotion of images on the http://100thgallery.com homepage on a rotation basis
  • Ongoing promotion through our facebook, twitter, and tumblr accounts and on our blog and website
  • Priority access to gallery bookings

To ensure a comprehensive level of service, one hundredth agency will only represent 100 artists per year. As an introductory offer, the annual fee for the service in 2012 is a flat $110 for the full year January-December 2012. The normal price of $220 per year will start in 2013. A sales commission of 25% of the selling price of the 12 listed artworks will also apply.

We are dedicated to the ongoing promotion of artworks by aspiring and emerging artists and by established artists who are trying something new.

one hundredth agency is all about meeting these objectives.

If you would like one hundredth agency to represent you and your art, or if know an artist that we should represent, then please get in contact on 0413 00 1234 or charles@100thgallery.com

want your own gallery for a week or four?

Before I get into that, we will be closed this weekend (Friday 16/9 – Sunday 18/9) in preparation for our next exhibition. It’s an all-photography show by 6 artists and starts on Wednesday 21/9; with the opening night on Friday 23/9 at 6.30pm. You’re all welcome!

Now, back to the question at hand. Do you want your own gallery to run for a week, two, three or four? Pop-up style?

I won’t be around in January so I’m looking for artists/curators that I can hand the gallery keys to. Not just to look after, but to run as your very own space.

And no, it’s not for free… but it’s also not at our normal rates! For $550 per week you can have all 30.7 metres of hanging space and 50sqm of floor space for yourself, a group, or to curate a show on behalf of other artists.

That’s less than half of what you would pay for a pop-up space in Prahran, and only a third of our normal rates!

I’ll give you the keys and the alarm code and the rest will be up to you… the full end-to-end running of the gallery. You will have the option of opening our standard hours or whenever you want to (between our permitted hours) 7 days per week.

If you are an aspiring or emerging artist or curator, why not start 2012 by meeting your new year’s resolution in the very first month of the year?!

Please call me on 0413 00 1234 or email me at charles@100thgallery.com to discuss further.  As one hundredth gallery is still my baby, only the best submission/s will be considered. Preference will be given to artists and curators that have not exhibited before.

Please express your interest asap, as this offer is on a first come/first served basis.  To give everyone enough time I’d like to make a final decision by 31 October.
