What is GALA? GALA (Galleries at LynnArts) is a non-profit community gallery, arts association, and artist advocacy group all rolled into one. Located in the LynnArts Building at 25 Exchange Street, Lynn, we have a large Main Gallery, an Artist Shop with local wears, and a street front Community Gallery. What is Pop-Up? During the Summer we are running Pop-Up@GALA which is an opportunity for a new artist to take over the Community Gallery each week. Pop-Up has high ceilings and north facing windows for lots of natural light, along with supplemental lighting. Pop-Up hours mimic those of the Main Gallery and Shop and visiting artists man the space during this time, running their own sales through their own point of sales system. Artists are also encouraged to be open additional hours as they choose and to use the space in a creative way. Move-in is every Tuesday starting at noon and move out is every Monday by noon. The rate for the week is $125 and is due upon acceptance along with a signed rental agreement. What about marketing? A save the date e-blast for Pop-Up will be sent to our existing art collectors/artist community prior Pop-up starting to announce the season start and to build excitement. An email blast will be sent to the weekend prior to your week to announce your Pop-Up. Your event will be listed on our event calendar and on the happenings calendar for Essex County Creates. A Facebook event will be created as well as posts on Instagram. Cross Promoting: Here is what you can do to maximize success throughout your week at Pop-up. We offer this as a suggestion, not a requirement. From our experience, the most success (sales, visibility, and traffic) happens when our artists join forces with us to get the word out for all to see the incredible talent that’s here! Follow @GalleriesatLynnArts on Instagram Like “Galleries at LynnArts” on Facebook and accept our request to make you a co-host of your Facebook event. Then post, tag, and engage!
