Guidelines for a successful submission:

Make sure to follow ALL submission guidelines. Quality images are extremely important, especially as we move into online spaces. Always put your best foot forward. Submissions should be consistent with what you were juried into the ArtWalk. Avoid artworks that are too similar unless they are considered one piece, ie: diptych, etc. Consider varying the size of the artworks offered. Perhaps a larger piece doesn’t fit within the exhibition, while a smaller piece does. 

Please note that the selection process considers the exhibition as a whole, with the intention of offering a variety of styles, materials, and approaches.

Please click here for detailed hanging requirements, failure to adhere to these practices can result in your work being omitted from the show.

All art must be suitable for installation:

  • Works on paper and board must be framed and mounted.
