Public art plays an important role in enhancing and complementing our environments, it brings communities together, offers social and educational opportunities and promotes tourism. The aim of the Lightbox Gallery is to provide a public exhibition space to showcase local artists, and provide the community with an accessible gallery. It will also serve as an exciting feature of Post Office Lane, connecting Geraldton Regional Art Gallery with the new town square and Rocks building.

Eight lightbox cabinets are located in the laneway at Post Office Lane, Geraldton with exhibitions running for a minimum of 8 weeks. We recommend dedicating 1 lightbox to artist information, and directing the community to purchase your works and to find out more about you.

Proposals should be conceptually resolved and supported by a visual mock up alongside examples of past works and submitted through the online application form by the closing date provided. Preference will be given to artists residing in the Midwest.

Lightbox Dimensions: Proposals are to address all 8 lightboxes with four being portrait, and four landscape. Artwork inserts are printed at a trim of roughly A2 (596mm x 422mm) with a display/visual area of 574 x 400.
Supply of Artwork: Your artwork must be supplied ready for print in high resolution digital format (JPG, EPS or PDF).
· Trim Area 596 x 422mm;
· Display Area 574 x 400mm.

Installation: The City's Community and Public Arts Officer will install works. The artwork will be removed when the next exhibition is installed and the artist may keep the prints.
The Commission: Proposals should respond to the space in a contemporary manner. Applications will be assessed based on:
· The exhibition rationale;
· Demonstration of artistic excellence and innovation of the works proposed; and
· Quality of previous artworks (supported by image submission).

Budget: The commission is $1,000 (ex GST). This budget should cover all costs related to the development, marketing and presentation of the work, including artist fees, materials and costs associated with digitising the artwork ready for print. The city will organise and pay for the printing of your digital artwork on non-adhesive transparency film ready for installation. The City will provide marketing supported by the way of advertising on CGG/GRAG website, newsletter and social media.
