Gift Cards — The Commotion
For someone who loves photography

Gift Cards

A gift card gives someone their own way into the gallery — toward a print from the Print Room, a seat in a Culture workshop, or time in a portfolio review with Peppa. Rather than choosing on someone else’s behalf, you’re handing them the gallery itself and letting them decide where it takes them. Every card is delivered digitally, so it can reach someone across the city or across the world in the same afternoon.

Choose an amount

$50

A start toward a smaller-format print from the Print Room, or a single Culture workshop on Zoom. A good entry point for someone new to the collection.

$100

Covers a full Zoom workshop with room to spare, or a solid contribution toward a first portfolio review — enough to make a real dent in something specific.

$250

Enough for a full print purchase from most photographers in the collection, or a complete one-to-one portfolio review with Peppa, start to finish.

Custom

Name your own amount for any combination of prints, talks, workshops, or reviews across the gallery — useful for larger or split purchases.

How it works

I

Choose an amount

Pick one of the set values above, or set your own for a specific purchase in mind. There’s no minimum beyond the amounts listed here.

II

Send it along

The card is issued to your recipient by email, with a short personal note included if you’d like one, and a suggested date if it’s for an occasion.

III

Redeem it anywhere on-site

Toward the Print Room, a Culture workshop, or a Portfolio Review — the recipient decides how and when to spend it, with no pressure to use it all at once.

Good to know

Gift cards do not expire and can be applied toward any single purchase or service on the site, or split across more than one — a card can cover part of a print and the rest of a workshop, for example.

They are not redeemable for cash and are not currently reloadable once the balance is used. If a recipient wants to add more later, a second card can always be issued.

For galleries, studios, or companies looking to gift cards in bulk — as client gifts, staff appreciation, or event favours — reach out directly and a custom order can be arranged with volume pricing.

Frequently asked

Can a gift card be used more than once?

Yes. The balance stays on the card until it’s fully used, so it can be spent across several visits or purchases rather than all at once.

Does the recipient need an account?

A basic account is created automatically when the card is redeemed, so the recipient can track their balance and past purchases going forward.

Can I schedule delivery for a specific date?

Yes — at checkout you can set a delivery date, which is useful for birthdays, holidays, or any occasion where timing matters.

“The best gift is one that lets someone choose their own way in — a card here does exactly that.”
