FAQ
Q: How do we know the chosen members are selected fairly?
A: Once the application deadline has passed the members selected will be chosen at random. The spirit of this project is not to judge the work of our members. It is to showcase all of our talents, hard work and to inspire each other.
Q: Where do I go with general questions and who do I contact if I need help with this application?
A: Contact Kristin (Compliment Coins) at kmccole@gmail.com. But, Be nice. She's a volunteer, is completely new to this, and is learning.
Q: How long will my work be displayed for?
A: This new initiative will be two 6 month periods a year. This first one will be September to March followed by March to September (repeating).
To allow for the next cohort to hang their work everything will be removed the second to last week of February so the next work can be hung up by March 1.
We are learning as we go, but a more precise estimate would be 8/26/24-2/21/25
Q: I don’t have enough time to prepare my work for this. What should I do?
A: Consider applying for the next cohort. We plan to have this be a cyclical process. We will learn a lot from this first attempt and adjust as necessary. We will have a longer application window for the next one so you have more time after acceptance to plan and prep your work for the space.
Q: What should I do if I am unable to hang my work the week of 8/26-8/30?
A: Generator staff will be available for select periods of time the week of the 26th to help hang work. If you are able to independently hang your work we can be flexible as to when you hang it.
Q: Why am I picking 3 galleries?
A: The galleries vary greatly in size and shape so they are not all equally suitable for people’s work. We want to give people the opportunity to pick their top 3 choices so you can identify which ones best suit your work.
Q: How far off the wall can my work go?
A: This will depend on the gallery you are selected for. Gallery 7 by the couches could accommodate space off the wall while galleries 5 and 6 in the ramp hallway could not. If you expect to need a lot of space off the wall please still apply and we can confirm if your work will be suitable for the galleries before we do the drawing.
Q: What if my work is damaged or stolen?
A: We certainly hope this doesn’t happen, but per Generator’s policy, we are not responsible for any damaged or stolen work
Notes:
Your work must be child appropriate and safe. We have many kids and young campers around the building. Child appropriate will be up to the discretion of Generator staff.
You must have an active Generator membership to participate. If your membership is expired or overdue at the time of drawing you won't be eligible.
