These terms and conditions apply to any exhibition we host on our website. Please read this before applying and understand that you may be required to pay for this opportunity (see fees section).
By accepting these terms and conditions- you agree to all the terms below.
1. Fees
- For fees please see the terms and conditions page for the publication or exhibition you are applying for.
Keep in mind that our online exhibitions that are not related to a publication do NOT have a fee since August 2024.
2. Acceptance
- Participants must acknowledge that they are subjected to these terms and conditions.
- The META SPACE GALLERY encourages experimentation and inexperienced artists to apply- but we will not discriminate against an artist’s professional status and will review submissions without bias.
- Acceptance to the exhibition will be decided based on the artwork’s resolution (please make sure that image files are high resolution). The description of the submission and your artist statement should be sufficiently long enough to describe the artwork to a viewer and your practice.
- The applicant acknowledges that the decision by the META SPACE GALLERY reviews submissions by relevance to the topic of the exhibition, so artwork or submissions not relevant to the exhibition will be declined. We also list artists based on when they where accepted and thus the positioning in our exhibitions is not based on any merits.
- Applicants are expected to have researched our exhibitions in the past and understand how we work and how we promote the work for the exhibition. You can research this by exploring our Instagram account and browsing the website.
- If you dispute the ways in which we promote your work, we can remove you from the exhibition. You are expected to have researched this before applying.
- We do not accept abusive behaviour or harassment towards the curator or organisation. This includes (but not limited to) insults, threats and harassment. If during an exhibition or throughout the editing period this behaviour is encountered we reserve the right to remove you from the exhibition and publication. We do not offer refunds for removals from this behaviour – this helps to discourage this behaviour. You will be asked by us to not be abusive (and we will give 3 warnings before removal).
Ownership
- Participants do not cede their copyrights to the META SPACE GALLERY but give their permission for the META SPACE GALLERY to showcase their work through their official social media accounts and the gallery website. Therefore, The submitted work is still the copyright/property of the participant, and the META SPACE GALLERY does not claim ownership.
- The META SPACE GALLERY reserves the right to display the artists’ work and some or all of the content on the website and its socials.
- We also reserve the right to remove your artwork and pages at any given time if you breach these terms and conditions. This is non-refundable if you have been showed in any capacity on our website after the exhibition has started.
- We reserve the right to archive the exhibition after it has been aired live. Please link back to the archived version once you update your links.
