Callanwolde Gallery Artwork Submission Guidelines:
· All works must be original. No reproductions or giclee prints (framed original photographs, woodcuts, etching, works of other printmaking mediums are allowed)
· Individual works must not exceed 30 pounds.
· All works must be delivered ready to hang using our Walker Hanging System, or ready to rest firmly on a pedestal (ceramics, jewelry, textiles, sculpture, etc)
· Work that requires special installation instructions may not be accepted. Artists are not allowed to put nails, screws, or other hardware into the walls or ceilings. We are open to your installation instructions on a case-by-case basis, but cannot guarantee accommodation due to the nature of the gallery walls.
· Textile works may be displayed on pedestals or hung on our Walker hanging systems using fishing line, string, etc.
· No adhesives can be attached to the walls except for the small vinyl labels we use to identify each piece. No command strips, no double-sided tape, no Velcro, nothing.
· All works on paper must be framed under glass or acrylic. All frames MUST have wire on the back for hanging. Sawtooth hangers are not compatible with the Walker system.
· Stretched canvas works do not have to be framed if they use heavy stretcher bars and there are no staples or tacks showing. They must have wire on the back and finished edges are strongly encouraged.
· Video works can be shown on monitors/TVs if the artist provides all equipment and is responsible for their own insurance.
· Display easels and panels are not permitted.
· Gallery Staff/Jurors will curate the placement of works for group shows.
· FINAL SELECTION AND PLACEMENT OF WORKS TO BE EXHIBITED RESTS WITH THE GALLERY TEAM.
· All art must be “family friendly”; no explicit violence or depictions of sexual acts is allowed. Callanwolde has the right to refuse any art deemed inappropriate for display due to content or condition.
· All works are insured for 70% of retail price while the works are in the Gallery. Artists are responsible for their own insurance during transit. So if a piece is damaged or stolen (extremely unlikely), the artist will be paid 70% as if the piece had sold (retail price minus Callanwolde’s commission).
· Art work must be for sale. Callanwolde retains a 30% commission on all works sold. Works MUST remain on display until the end of the exhibition. Artist will be paid for any/all sales within 3 weeks of the end of the show.
If you are unsure if your piece fits the above criteria, or you would like to discuss special installation procedures for a specific piece, please email Adam at Gallery@callanwolde.org
