Show Prospectus
Eligibility
All 2D artworks are welcome as well as any 3D artwork (glass/ceramic sculpture) that fits on a pedestal.
Photography, fabric, and journal pages are also welcomed if prepared for hanging. Enter your art submissions online digitally or drop off in-person at the gallery.
Must be original art and the artist's own work. We do not accept AI-created artwork, installations, reproductions, or giclee prints (except for photography or printmaking which utilizes limited edition prints due to the nature of the medium).
All entries must be for sale. Artwork that is labeled "NFS" will be juried out.
Preparing Your Artwork
Art must be wired and ready-to-hang.
Artwork not wired and d-ringed will be juried out. Our gallery utilizes a wire hanging system that requires two D-rings on the back of your work. We recommend these D-Rings and Soft Strand Wire No.5.
Eyelet screws, buckles, and sawtooth hangers are not usable with our hanging system.
Artists must also include their signature or name, artwork title, size, and medium on the backside of the piece. It cannot be left blank. Artwork missing this important information will be juried out.
