Submissions

Members may enter up to three pieces of recent work. The maximum size of pieces that can be displayed in the locked cases is 18″ x 18″ x 18″. Due to space limitations, all three works may not be included. Please submit your works in order of priority.

Artists planning on submitting very large or heavy pieces should plan on delivering and installing them at the Gallery. If you have any questions about the suitability of your artwork, have other questions, or would like to volunteer for this exhibition, please contact exhibitions@seattlemetalsguild.org.

In our 2023 Biennial, sharing process materials—such as sketches, notes, and drafts—was a highlight for visitors, who enjoyed seeing the creative journey behind the finished works. We are excited to continue this theme and encourage you to include copies of your process documents (e.g., sketchbooks, photos, prototypes, storyboards) for display with your completed pieces.

Each display label will include either the retail price or “NFS” (Not for Sale) alongside the artwork title. If a viewer is interested in purchasing a piece, SMG will share the artist’s email address (as provided on the application) so the viewer can contact the artist directly. Artists are responsible for coordinating all transactions and delivery of sold work after the show's conclusion.

Members, to submit your work for consideration in this exhibition, please continue...
