Submissions packets are evaluated through a competitive criteria-based process by active members of the Art Committee.  Due to the volume of proposals received, not all submissions will be offered an exhibition slot.  Note that, depending upon quality of submissions received and their appropriateness to the exhibition spaces available, additional calls for submissions may be held as needed to fill available exhibition slots.

If you have specific questions regarding the submissions process, please contact Ameena Mohyuddin.

Preparing A Submissions Packet:
Incomplete packets will not be considered and will be returned at artist’s expense only if a SASE is enclosed.  Physical submissions packets must be submitted.  Please contact us in advance if you need to email images or support materials.  Unsolicited emails, particularly those without all materials requested below, will not be considered a complete exhibition proposal submission.  The following items must be included in your proposal packet:

1. An artist resume or biography.  For group shows, a brief biography/resume/CV should be included for each artist to be included.
2. A SASE (self addressed stamped envelope for the return of slides/jpegs).  If a SASE is not included, submission materials will not be returned and will be disposed/recycled after the submissions process.
3. A short exhibition proposal.  Please tell us what your exhibition goals are, what it will look like and anything else you consider essential for us to consider.
4. Up to 10 slides (or a CD-ROM containing 10 images) of recent work.  Digital/CD images are preferred, but slides are still accepted.  Please make sure your materials are labeled with your contact info.  You must include dimensions (with units) for each work so that we have an understanding of the size scale and can consider works for appropriate exhibition spaces.  Images do not have to be of works that will definitely be included in the final show, but must be representative of the works to be displayed.  Please don’t send us images of your photography work if you are proposing and exhibition of sculpture or oil paintings.  
5. Please also include a telephone number with area code, email address, and preferred mailing address.  Please indicate if you have a preferred method of contact.
