  • Exhibitors will not be selected on a first come - first served basis.  All artists will be judged by jurors.  In addition to quality of the art, the gallery will also consider the marketability of the art work, the popularity of the artist and/or the style of the artwork in the market area we serve.

    Exhibitors will be expected to rotate their artwork.  No artwork should be on display for more than 6 months.  Exhibitors are encouraged to keep their display freah by rotating pieces as frequently as every month.  The quality of all the exhibitor's artwork shall be consistent with the quality of the artwork submitted to the jurors during the application process.

Discuss any art education/training you had and degrees earned. If none, state you're self-taught.

    Provide an artist's statement - An artist statement is a not-too-long series of sentences that describe what you make and why you make it. It’s a stand-in for you, the artist, talking to someone about your work in a way that adds to their experience of viewing that work.
