New Artist
Submission Policy
Artists with
superior talent, high productivity, commercial vision and a drive to be
aggressively marketed are encouraged to apply. Competition is fierce,
however all presentations will be viewed in earnest. No criticisms will be offered, simply encouragement
to the appropriate candidates.
The gallery welcomes the opportunity to view new work and requests you follow the
guidelines below in preparing your presentation. The gallery does not grant any personal
interviews or view in gallery (no exceptions) the work of any new artists until the jury
packet of information has been received and accepted. Accepted artists will submit
professional photos of themselves and their work for inclusion on this web site. You may
submit the below requested information via mail, e-mail or we will be glad to review your
web site. New work is reviewed bimonthly.
