Prospectus
Artists may submit up to 3 pieces for consideration for inclusion in "The Human Condition". All subject matter is permissible, and all mediums, 2D or 3D. Previously shown work is acceptable for this exhibit. There are 2 catergories for submission, a juried catergory, and a non-juried category. Artists may choose to submit works in each category, but may only submit up to three pieces overall.
Non-juried entry fee: $15 per piece
Juried entry fee: $20 per piece
Entry fees are non-refundable.
No entry fee for students, K-12. Student work will not be juried.
One cash prize of $100 will be awarded to the Best of Show juried entry, with ribbon awards for Best in Show, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place irrespective of medium. The public is invited to vote on their favorite for a special "People's Choice Award".
All work except "Student" work displayed MUST be for sale. Students may CHOOSE whether to offer work for sale. Galerie Elan will retain a 30% commision on all front gallery sales, so artists must price their works with that in mind. To preserve the integrity of our curated exhibits, no work may be removed from the gallery until the show ends on May 31st. The exception is when the buyer is from out of town and cannot return for pick up of purchased art. Otherwise, "Sold" stickers will be used to indicate sales. Checks for sales proceeds are issued through and mailed from our bank during the 1st week of the month after the exhibit has concluded.
Works must be originals, and be the intellectual property of the artist. Images projected or traced from sources not generated by the artist will not be allowed. Work produced from commercial kits or moulds will not be permitted. Fine art photography is allowed in the exhibit, as is digitally manipulated photos. However, digitally manipulated photography must be labled as such so that there is no deceptive pretense to appear as an original painting. 2D work must be prepared for hanging on gallery walls with wire hangers only. Sawtooth hangers are not acceptable except on small pieces. If canvas works or wood-cradled panels are to be presented unframed, the edges must be painted or finished, and a wire hanger is required. Entries delivered without proper wiring may be rejected by our Exhibition Committee. 3D work not suitable for hanging will be showcased on tables and/or gallery pedestals. Please affix a tag to the back or underside of the work with the following information: Name, Title, Medium, Price.
