  • ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

    Photography is a special art form we wish to highlight in this exhibition. While almost anyone can take a picture - an Artist is able to freeze time in a single moment to share a unique perspective capable of evoking emotion, crafting a narrative, or transporting the viewer to an entirely different place. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this exhibition is going to say a lot.

    Join us for the "Moments" exhibition with 100+ captured moments displayed.

    • Why Application Fee?


      Gallery 612 charges an application fee to ensure we only have quality submissions from legitimate Artists who take their work seriously. This small fixed fee is used to mitigate submissions from unwarranted applicants and support our jury process. We have a thorough jury process as art opportunities are popular and have a low acceptance rate.

       

      JURY PROCESS

      There will be two phases for jurying. The first phase of jurying is the Yes/No selection, and the second phase is a scoring model. For scoring, each jury member will give the artworks a score from 1 to 6. Artworks with the highest scores in the "Yes" group will be selected.

    • ACCEPTANCE DETAILS

      Only selected Artists will be notified of acceptance into the exhibition. Delivered artwork must match the images submitted in the application. No substitutions will be allowed.


      Artist/Photograph label(s) must be on the back of each piece. Please include the Artist name, title of artwork, size, and price. The price we will show on your display labels will be based on the information you indicate on your application. No changes will be allowed.
