ARTS AND ARTISANS SOCIETY A VISUAL ARTS EDUCATION PERFORMANCE
ARTS ON 3 Jury Application 2021
The jurors for Arts on 3 Gallery, owned and operated by CLAAS (Christina Lake Arts and Artisans Society) are looking for work featuring a high level of craftsmanship. Work should express the artist's spirit, display individuality in design and show special attention to detail, finish and presentation. CLAAS recognizes the competitive nature of sales within any given medium. Our decision to accept work to be juried is strongly dependent on a unique expression by its individual artists; one that embodies quality design and craftsmanship. In addition, we are looking for work which is a departure from our current inventory; something that excels beyond what we already exhibit.
Work must meet the following conditions: Aesthetic: Clear integration of form, color, texture, and design. Technical: Command of the medium and consistency of quality. Expressive: Clear personal vision and unique, distinctive style. Marketability: Although not a condition of acceptance, it is a condition of placement within the gallery. Original Design, not from a kit or You Tube video or other online processes.
Guest Artists: In its effort to be a leader in promoting Arts Education, The Arts on 3 Gallery may invite special well established guest artists. These artists need not be BC residents and may include internationally known artists/craftspeople.
Gallery Demonstration Days Artists are encouraged to come to the gallery and demonstrate their work. Volunteer days are an opportunity to meet the public and showcase personal work by doing demonstrations or hands on projects. Artists must work with gallery staff to best organize proper space layout, equipment and time. Gallery Demonstration Days must be scheduled well in advance, enabling Arts on 3 to post in various events calendars.
Gallery Exhibitor Consignees who have been juried into The Arts on 3 Gallery must pay an Exhibitor/Membership fee of $30.00, which is due upon being juried into the gallery.
