"POTLUCK"
juried regional show
|
Theme
We’ve all been to a potluck...we bring our favorite dish or the dish people compliment us on. So enter a piece of your art that you are proud of or that you have received positive feedback on. Show us your delicious art! * NOTE: there's no actual potluck meal, it's just our show theme. Eligible Art All 2-dimensional art welcome and any 3-dimensional artwork (glass/ceramic sculpture) that fits on a pedestal. Photography, fabric, and journal pages are also welcomed if prepared for hanging. Enter your art submissions online digitally or drop off in-person at the gallery. Must be original art and the artist's own work. We do not accept any AI-created artwork, installations, or reproductions/giclee prints (except for photography or printmaking which utilizes limited edition prints due to the nature of the medium). Must be for sale. Artwork labeled "NFS" will be juried out. Juror Lisa Bebi professional artist and GOLDEN Educator Preparing Your Art Art must be wired and ready-to-hang. Artwork not wired and d-ringed will be juried out. Our gallery utilizes a wire hanging system that requires two D-rings on the back of your work. We recommend these D-Rings and Soft Strand Wire No.5. Eyelet screws, buckles, and sawtooth hangers are not usable. Artists must also sign, title, and add your artwork's size and medium on the backside of the piece. It cannot be left blank. Artwork missing this important information will be juried out. Tips for Digital Submissions: Watch this short video on YouTube about how to photograph and crop your art with just a phone.
