WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Your contact information and social media handles.

  • A High-Res Image of the Piece.
    We recommend a non-watermarked image at 300 dpi, up to 10 MB.
    If the piece is already in its frame, we'll ask for a photo of it framed. If it isn't framed yet, or you're not sure, choose “will be framed if accepted.”
  • Title, Medium, Process & Inspiration of the Piece.
  • Dimensions (Unframed and Framed, if applicable)
  • Price.
• Submission Fee of $30.

HOW THIS FORM WORKS.

• You do not have to finish in one sitting. At the bottom of every page there is a Save button beside Next. It stores everything you have entered, including uploaded images.
• Saving gives you a return link, and there are two ways to get it — it is emailed to you automatically, and you can also click Get Draft Link to copy it. They are the same link. Keep it somewhere you will find it: that link is how you get back into your draft.
• A saved draft is not a submission, and you are not charged the $30.00 until you actually submit.
• Please Note: Drafts can expire after a stretch of inactivity (usually 30 days).
• A printable list of every question this form asks is available here — Coat Check — Printable Question List. Use it to gather your answers, measurements and prices before you begin. Submissions are made through this form.

ABOUT YOU.

ABOUT YOU AS AN ARTIST.

OUR POLICIES.

Five things you should know if your work is selected.  Please read and acknowledge them.  Then let us know how many pieces you'd like us to consider.

Image Policy

• If accepted, Powell Lane Arts references, links to and uses professional images from your website and social media to promote the show.
• Your title and copyright stay yours. Powell Lane Arts obeys all title and copyright claims.

Edition Policy

• Editioned work, and pieces made in multiples, must be from a limited edition.
• The edition must be signed and numbered.
• Open and unlimited editions are not accepted.

Protective Covering Policy

• Any sensitive surface needs a protective covering. The usual cases are works on or containing paper — drawings, watercolors, prints, photographs, collage — and anything friable, like gouache, pastel or chalk, charcoal and graphite.
• Under glass, the covering must be glass or Plexiglas. Acetate and vellum are not accepted.
• Resin or varnish on an adhered board is an equivalent measure. A surface sealed that way does not also need to go under glass.
• The exception is work where the degradation of the surface is the point of the piece.

Sale Policy

• All work must be for sale.
• Decisions are made on the work you submit. If an accepted piece sells before delivery it is rescinded — it comes out of the show and is not replaced.
• Tell us as soon as possible if a piece sells.
• Editioned work is the exception: another piece from the same edition may stand in.
• No other substitutions are accepted.

Privacy and Messaging

• Our Privacy Policy applies to everything you submit here.
• Our Messaging Terms and Conditions cover any texts we send you about your submission, delivery or pick-up.

ARTIST STATEMENT.

YOUR WORK IN RELATION TO THIS SHOW.

ARTWORKS TO BE CONSIDERED

Each artwork you submit has two pages.

The Artwork as Object comes first — the piece as it will be seen and handled: the image, the title and what it's about, the type of work, how it's displayed, what it's made of and on, whether it's flat or built out, its edition, framing, size and price. This tells us how to hang, pack, ship and move it.

About the Creation comes second — what the piece essentially is and how it came into being: the specific surface, the techniques and processes you used, and the materials involved. We use it in jurying, and it helps buyers understand your work; the way you make something is part of what they want to know. The questions on that page open based on what you checked on the first.

ARTWORK TO BE CONSIDERED (cont'd)

Please Remember:
We only accept limited, signed and numbered editions. Open or unlimited editions are not accepted.

Please Remember:
Our framing policy requires a protective covering on any sensitive surface, such as work on or containing paper.
