Please take a detailed
look at our web site pages or visit the Gallery to see several
exhibitions before sending images to us. Once you have some understanding
of our curatorial interests and honestly feel your work is appropriate
and mature enough for us, you may send images using the guidelines
below.
What
we prefer when reviewing work:
1. No
fewer than 5 and no more than 20 photographs, transparencies, slides,
or digital images on CD of work completed in the last two years. Each
image must be properly labeled with: Artist Name, Title, Date, Media,
Size and a return address
2. A current resume. Exhibitions should be divided
between
One or two-Person Exhibitions
and Group Exhibitions.
(Please limit your resume to
two pages.)
3. An appropriately sized, self-addressed and stamped return
envelope with sufficient postage.
(If you do not provide
postage, your work will be held for pickup for two weeks. If not
retrieved, we will consider it refuse. We will not return envelopes
without postage.)
NOTE: If you exceed the requested material guidelines above,
your return envelope's weight will exceed 16oz.
The U.S. Postal Service
limits the weight for outgoing pickup to 16oz. will not take mail from
us if over one pound in weight. We will not take overweight envelopes
to the Post Office. These envelopes will be considered refuse.
4. An Artist's Statement about your work or any
comments you
feel are necessary to
understand your concept. Inclusion of statement is not mandatory.
Often this is where an artist's portfolio becomes excessive.
(Note: Please limit
comments to two pages. The statement should be clear, concise
and not hand-written.)
We will be able to judge
if there is anything of interest to us if the above requirements are
met, and will contact you if we would like to see more work or visit
your studio.
We
review portfolios once a month, so please don't call asking if we
have a response yet.
What
we do NOT like to see when reviewing work:
1. Actual original works of art.
2. Video tapes or more
than 20 images, slides, transparencies or photos.
3. Excessive paperwork, slide lists, or vanity photographs
of the artist's face.
(Your slides should have all
the pertinent information on their labels.)
4. Calling to make appointments for review or walking into
the
Gallery expecting an
immediate review of your work.
Please understand that we are
committed to working with the artists we
currently exhibit and with
whom we have contracts.
We can't take time out from
our daily workload for every artist asking to show us their work.
Please realize that it is
best for us - and for you - to mail in your slides
so our staff may review your
slides together.
This review format allows us to give your work the undivided attention
it deserves!
It is not uncommon for us
to follow an artist's work for a few years before
deciding to show the artist
in an exhibition.
We are not actively seeking new
relationships with artists at this time.
We
hope, by following an artist for a few years, to see their work
develop.
This also gives an
opportunity to sense the commitment
the artist has for his or her
work, as well as their intention and direction.
