PLASKETT GALLERY EXHIBITION 2023

Can you submit work even if you're not in an arts related course? 

Absolutely! Any student who wishes to submit work to this exhibition is encouraged to do so, regardless of course experience. You will be expected to submit work on time and follow framing directions, but all skill levels are welcome! We welcome art in many forms, so do not feel restricted to only 2D pieces! (Painting, drawing, sculpture, drafting projects, metalwork, woodword, jewellery, mixed media, collage and more!)

​

What happens if I can't attend the framing workshop? 

If there is no way that you can attend the framing workshop, you are encouraged to ask a friend or another student who is framing to frame on your behalf. Teachers will not be framing student work. Please connect with an Art Teacher if alternate framing options need to be arranged. 

​

What if I can't bring my work to the gallery to be displayed/can't bring it back after the show is over? 

We have all students walk their finished and framed works of art over to the gallery at an appointed time. Please make arrangements with another member of the exhibition to make sure your piece is submitted and accounted for. 

​

Can I frame my work myself on my own time?

You do have the option to frame your work yourself if you have a specific frame in mind. If you frame your work on your own, you still need to make sure you've completed the Artist Information cards document that will be circulating on framing day, but can otherwise leave after that. Please make sure your frame has a hanging device (wire, hooks, etc.) on the back. 

​

Is there a cost to sign up? Do students need to buy frames?

Our arts department has its own set of frames that were donated several years ago. Students can use these frames (for free!) to frame their work. Students do not need to pay to use these frames - as they will be returned after the show is over for future student use. However, we do have a limited total of frames, so some compromise on size/amount of work per student may occur. 

​

How many pieces can students submit?

This depends on the total number of students signed up. If a limited number of students have signed up to exhibit, we may be able to exhibit multiple pieces for each artist. If many students are signed up, it will be limited to one piece per student. Some exceptions can be made if works differ in format (ie. one sculpture piece and one framed painting).
