Pre-Loved, Re-Loved Exhibition 7 – 25 February 2015

MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Date: 19 January, 2015 www.depotartspace.co.nz

The Depot Artspace is currently advocating for Artists Resale Royalties Aotearoa (ARRA), an artists’ resale royalty scheme that entitles the artist to receive a royalty payment (normally a percentage of the sale price) from the sales of their artwork on the secondary market.

It is seven years since the Ministry of Culture and Heritage produced a discussion paper on ‘Artist Resale Royalties’. Pre-Loved, Re-Loved revisits and reinvigorates the dialogue about royalty payments for artists here in Aotearoa. In this sale of works, we want to help you on-sell your artworks that may no longer find a place in your home. This is an exciting opportunity for you to not only pass on your treasures but also give back to the original artist!

Those wishing to contribute to Pre-Loved, Re-Loved should bring in their artworks on Monday the 2nd and Tuesday the 3rd of February between 10am – 5pm. Limit of three artworks per person, $10 per artwork, 30% commission plus GST on sold works under $1,000, 15% commission plus GST on sold works of $1,000 and over with 5% of that going to the artist.

PLEASE NOTE: All work must be of a high standard, ready to hang, be in a good condition and of a realistic price. This is a secondary art sale; artists cannot directly sell their own work.

Pre-Loved, Re-Loved features work from Ross Ritchie, Michael Smither, Peter Robinson, Raymond Ching and many more.

Pre-Loved, Re-Loved runs from the 7th – 25th February 2015 and opens in our Main Gallery on Saturday the 7th February at 10am, refreshments will be served from noon.
