As many of you know, the City of Ottawa has agreed to allow the RAPC and other
Ottawa photo clubs periodic access to the Archives Exhibition space in the new City
Archives building on Tallwood Drive. Our next exhibit in this space will be a joint effort
with the Camera Club of Ottawa. Bill McCloskey, the Chair of the RAPC, has asked me
to organize the RAPC’s participation in the next exhibition which will take place from
November 6 to December 27.
If you are interested in participating in this event, please let me know, no later than
October 25, by sending an email to Ott.Archives@raphotoclub.ca. Your email should
include thumbnails of the photographs you propose to display. (We need image
thumbnails for marketing purposes.)
The requirement
Each exhibitor must provide five framed and matted photos (printing and matting the
responsibility of the participating photographers) to hang in the Gallery from November
6 to December 27
Good news! The RAPC has purchased twelve 16 x 20 frames specifically
for RAPC exhibitors to use who may not have their own frames
Each exhibitor must be available to hang their photos on Monday, November 5, between the hours of 6:00 to 9:00
While the tear-down date and times are yet to be determined, each exhibitor (or delegate) will be responsible for taking down their photos
There is no overarching theme for the exhibit, but it is preferable that each photographer’s
images be thematically linked
Frames should be either 16 x 20 or 20 x 24
Each photographer will be expected to prepare and display an artist’s statement, titles and
prices of each photograph and contact information
Additional information
The photo exhibit should be looked upon as an opportunity to sell your prints and it will be your responsibility to set the price you want for them. Note, however, that the City requires a 15% commission on the selling price of the artist’s work. Exhibitors will be chosen by lottery. We will note the names of those whose names are not drawn and develop a list of potential participants for future exhibits. The RA requires any RAPC member who exhibits in the Archive Gallery to sign an agreement about their participation. We will assume that any member who indicates an interest in exhibiting
will agree to this. The agreement will be forwarded to those whose names are drawn in the
lottery. Exhibitors must sign the agreement, and deliver it the East Desk of the RA, attention Sharron Malott before they will be permitted to hang their prints.
