Submission Guidelines
Artists are invited to submit 1 to 12 works for All That Glimmers, a juried limited exhibition. Works should embody the idea of a glimmer. While a trauma trigger activates your brain's "fight or flight" stress response, a glimmer signals to your nervous system that you are safe and okay. Aplomb Gallery is seeking submissions from artists whose work portrays that moment of peace, joy, or beauty.
In alignment with the mission of The Aplomb Project, submissions may reflect themes of healing, resilience, identity, transformation, grief, hope, strength, or personal perspective. All interpretations and mediums are welcome.
This is a limited-opportunity exhibition at Aplomb Contemporary Gallery. Based on the submissions received, the exhibition will be curated as either a solo exhibition, a duo presentation, or a small group show. The final format will be determined through the jurying process.
Two-dimensional work must be securely ready to hang, either framed or gallery wrapped with painted sides and wired or equipped with hooks compatible with our hanging system. Three-dimensional work in all mediums will be considered. Multimedia works are also accepted.
Aplomb Contemporary Gallery is located in Dover, New Hampshire. Artists from any geographic location may apply. Selected artists are responsible for shipping or delivering work in person by January 3rd. Shipped work must include a prepaid return label, or artists may arrange to pick up work after the exhibition concludes.
Exhibition entry is non-refundable and supports the mission of The Aplomb Project, which provides expressive arts programming for individuals impacted by trauma, illness, and life transitions. If the entry fee is a financial barrier to applying, please email danielle@theaplombproject.org. Artists will retain 60 percent of all sales. The Aplomb Project retains a 40 percent commission and absorbs initial transaction processing fees.
