What is my responsibility for the artworks?
We will work with you to select a space in your business that is safe for the artwork, visible and won’t disrupt the flow of your business. We will also send out a qualified installer out to you to install and deinstall the work. Once it’s installed, you agree not to move it for the duration of the festival or to change your surrounding displays in ways that compromise the artwork. All artworks are insured by Belco Arts for the duration of the display providing these conditions are met.

What investment of my staff and my business is required?
We value the time and energy of you and your staff talking about the program and your participation in it and will provide you with some talking points to make this easier. However, we know your business comes first and you’ve got lots to do. We’ll provide you with a written statement for customers to read, and also the phone number of our art coordinator, which you can pass on to any customers who want to know more about the artwork or the program.

Are artworks for sale?
We want to support local artists to sell their work. Artworks may be listed for sale, and where this is the case, purchases can be made online through the Belco Arts website so there is no requirement for you to manage this. There will be a link for people to follow to the online shop, and you can give out the art coordinators number to anyone who is having trouble.

How will this benefit my business?
We want to connect people with their local businesses, and to drive traffic through your doors so they can see what you’ve got to offer them. This project will create interest and energy in the many small businesses that make up the region and the contribution they make to the community. We’ll promote your business through the Celebrate Gungahlin festival website and social media channels.

Can any business participate?
The program is open to all types of businesses who are located in the Gungahlin region, however some premises may not be suitable. To be part of it, you need to have a safe place for the artwork, where it won’t be bumped by customers or damaged by splashes, smoke or fumes from your business activities. A window display is an ideal location because it can be viewed but not touched by customers. If you are unsure of you have a suitable location, you can contact Gungahlin Programs Officer Michele Grimston on 0403 929 739 or michele@belcoarts.com.au to discuss how we could make things work.

How big will the artworks be?
There is no restriction of the size of work that artists can submit, but we will work with businesses to find artworks that are suitable for the space you have available. If you only have a small space, that’s fine! We’ll make sure we match you with an artist that creates small works.

How will you choose the artworks for my business?
Artists will submit their work to us for consideration through an online portal. We’ll then review them and approach businesses with two or three options that we think will work particularly well in your space. You will have the final say over artworks that are presented in your business and are not under any obligation to accept artworks if you don’t feel they are suitable.

Will it cause damage to my premises?
No damage will be caused to your premises. Artworks will be installed by professionals, and we have a number of ways we can place the artwork in your business without causing damage to your walls. This includes standing the work on easels, hanging using elements of your existing shopfitting and hanging using removable sticky tabs. In some cases, artworks are best properly attached to the wall with hooks or screws. We will discuss with this you first and will not do this without your express consent. If you do give your consent, our deinstallers will return your wall to its original condition.
