Kingsgate Gallery – Reopening
Club Gallery – Kingsgate Centre
Although the Club’s Gallery in the Kingsgate Centre remains closed because of the Coronavirus measures, we are able to make appropriate arrangements should anyone wish to make a painting purchase (in particular, those currently visible in the window displays). You can contact the club initially via the “Contact Us” tab on the website giving us a description of the painting and the artists name.
We also look forward to reopening the Gallery on a regular basis when conditions and circumstances allow.
Kingsgate Gallery – Temporary Closure
Bearing in mind current concerns over Coronavirus, it is with regret that our Kingsgate Shopping Centre Gallery will close for a spell after after today’s opening (14th March).
We take this action to reduce avoidable risk for both our members, who to a large extent fall into the section of the community identified as susceptible, and our art loving public.
New Gallery Hanging Period, 5th March – 25th April
From tomorrow (5th March) the club Gallery in the Kingsgate Centre will reopen with a completely new exhibition of paintings (framed, unframed and prints). The exhibition will be available to view every Thursday, Friday and Saturday (12 noon until 4 o’clock) up until 25th April. Almost all the exhibits are available for sale to the general public. We hope you can manage to visit.
Next Gallery Changeover – 5th March 2020
Dunfermline Art Club Gallery in the Kingsgate Shopping Centre, will soon be accepting submissions from members for the next Gallery hanging period which will run from 5th March through 25th April. New exhibits will be accepted during normal Gallery opening hours (12-4 pm on Thursday 27th, Friday 28th and Saturday 29th February). Paintings will be hung on Tuesday 3rd March in advance of the Gallery re-opening on 5th. A maximum five pictures may be submitted. A hanging fee of £2.50 per picture will apply, and, where four pictures are paid for, the fifth will be hung for free . A commission of 25% will be taken on painting sales.
Original artworks only (which comply with the clubs framing standards) can be accepted for hanging, not prints. However, prints, as well as original unframed pictures, may be submitted for display in the browsers.
Members also should note that the same paintings may not be exhibited in the Gallery on consecutive hanging periods. Unsold items from the previous hanging period should be collected from the Gallery at the earliest convenient opportunity.
