SUBMISSION DETAILS:
For this show you must be a member! JOIN or RENEW Now
Your name should have the FIRST LETTER of each name capitalized: Jonathan Doe.
The first time you register, you need an artist statement - 200 word limit in first person. It is a statement about all of your work, in general. Why and what and how you do what you do.
You must enter verbiage regarding the individual piece of art - The character limit is 300, including spaces (You will be cut off)!!
It is about the specific work of art. What were you thinking or trying to convey, what inspired you?
You do not have to create a portfolio site to enter the show.
Prices - DO NOT TYPE IN A COMMA. This produces the wrong price ($2, instead of $2,500). ArtCall will add the comma automatically
Measurements - HEIGHT first, then Width then Depth (H x W x D), inches at the end. Ex: 8 x 10", 6 x 8 x 12"
All this information is used online and on wall labels, awards, and publicity. Use Spellcheck as well as word count!
2D IMAGE REQUIREMENTS for ONLINE submissions:
3 images of each piece are required, one of the art without frame, one with frame, and a close detail image (zoomed into a small close-up of a section of interest). If the art is unframed, only 2 photos are required.
NOTE: if the work is framed, we must have the outside measurements of the frame (H x W x D). Please do not guess. If we do not have the measurements for the art and/or the framed art, your piece will not be considered to jury.
Walls and backgrounds SHOULD NOT SHOW in photos. Photographs of work should not show background, and not be crooked.
3D IMAGE REQUIREMENTS for ONLINE submissions:
3 images for each 3D, installation, or wearable art entry: one overall front, one overall rear or sideview, and one detail (zoomed into a small section of interest).
Detail image must show an important aspect of the artwork. Make sure that both the full-view and detail images are oriented correctly. Please keep backgrounds as unobtrusive as possible.
MORE:
All 2D work must be wired on the back to hang--no sawtooth hangers. This is a requirement for our hanging system. If work is not wired, it will not be accepted into the show.
Remember to have a label on the back or bottom of work (see above).
You can go back in and add/edit images and edit text until the call ends.
Please double check all information!
After submitting, leave the program and then go back in and double check your information. Did you enter the required 2 or 3 photos for each submission? Is your price correct? Measurements? Is your statement complete?
VERY IMPORTANT: You can delete and change photos, and change text within each submission until end-of-call.
Do not delete an entire submission and then add a new one--ArtCall will charge you for a new submission! Instead, edit the original submission in the description box, delete the old images and add new ones.
NOTE: + Submission means add a new entry (and pay); + Attachment means add a new image (photo).
You can leave this video on your call site's homepage (or embed it on any page) for a quick tutorial your users can watch to help them with the submission process.
