Submit your artwork in our juried All Media Shows. It’s easy with our digital submission form. Fill out the form and upload an image of your artwork. We take it from there and will let you know if the artwork is accepted in the exhibit. You can submit up to 3 pieces of artwork, any style, any medium. You pay a small entry fee.
Artwork that can be delivered to the art center for display will be hung in one of our galleries. For out-of-town or entries and entries from other countries that are accepted, these will be exhibited online, virtually.
The All Media Gallery Shows are juried art shows. Artwork is accepted from any artist on any subject matter.
Anything goes! This includes two and three dimensional works including but not limited to: paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, pottery, glass work, collage, metal, stone and jewelry. You get the picture!
The show is judged by art professionals. Art professors, directors, curators and practicing artists are among the many people who jury the shows.
The All Media Gallery Shows are held on the 4th Friday of the month. Most every month an All Media Show is held. There are some exceptions, so please check our calendar.
Yes. The cash awards are 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place. Sometimes we present a photography award when there are a lot of photography entries. This is up to the juror’s discretion.
Call for entries are several weeks prior to the exhibit. Please refer to our calendar. You submit your entries online. If accepted, we will notify you and will arrange for a day and time for you to bring your artwork to the gallery. If you live out of town, your accepted artwork will be part of a virtual, digital exhibit.
Yes, the entry fee for each piece of work is $10 for non-gallery members and $7 for gallery members. This is non-refundable. We use this money to pay the prizes, juror and put on the shows. See benefits of being an ART WORKS All Media Gallery Member, below.
The reception begins at 6:00 p.m. on the 4th Friday of the month. The gallery awards and talk is usually held at 6:30 p.m.
The opening and reception is a big party with refreshments and live music. The juror awards the prizes and speaks to the guests and artists about the show, entries accepted and not accepted. These talks are informative and encouraging to those who were accepted and also those whose work was not accepted. It’s a great time for guests to meet the artists.
Once the artwork is juried, we will send you an email with a list of the accepted entries. You can check this list and determine which, if any, of your pieces were accepted.
We are very diligent about making sure you get your email. If you don’t get a notice from us, check your spam folder as sometimes email get put there. If you have any questions, give us a call.
Art Works will notify you and the artwork will remain in the gallery until the end of the show. The buyer will pick up the work at this time. You will receive payment on the 15th of the month following the sale date.
