Pleiades Gallery considers new members on a regular basis. Pleiades artists reflect a broad range of sensibilities from realistic to abstract and represent a diversity of styles, ages, viewpoints and mediums. Some have had work represented in major museums and others have been selected to participate in competitions juried by curators of prominent institutions around the world.
Pleiades is governed and operated by its artist members, who meet on the first Sunday of every month. We seek out and welcome new members who continuously refresh our high standards and uphold and explore our vision. Pleiades Gallery offers opportunities for both established and emerging artists.
Members are expected to be actively involved in committee work and to volunteer for projects that come up.
Once accepted, a member pays an initiation fee of $500 plus their first monthly membership fee. Pleiades offers two levels of membership fees. An active member is one who takes on a gallery job and also fulfills four workdays per season, and pays $210 per month. A less active member has no gallery job, but does fulfill 4 work days per season. He or she pays $260 per month. Members who do not fulfill their four workdays per season must pay $100 per day missed.
Pleiades Gallery does not charge any commission on sales. All sales are handled and arranged directly by the artist.
A new member can expect to have a solo exhibition within 24 months of the initiation of membership. Solo shows last four weeks and are determined annually through a lottery held at a members meeting.
New members can also expect to participate in at least one additional group show per year.
In addition to the benefits of being represented by an art gallery in Chelsea New York, all members have a web presence on the Pleiades site which links directly to their own websites.
Applications and artworks are screened on the 1st Sunday of each month except for July and August. All members present at our regular meeting will review and judge potential candidates whether or not there is a current opening available.
