ARGYLE FINE ART on the HALIFAX WATERFRONT; petite art at the POPCAN
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Monday May 11th at 5pm

We are very excited to welcome you to submit for petite art at the POPCAN.
Argyle Fine Art will be set up at the POPCAN on the Halifax waterfront, across from the
Saltyard from May 26th to June 1st and we want to showcase LOCAL ARTISTS!
This opportunity is during Halifax’s busy tourist season, and we are expecting many cruise ships to be docked alongside, bringing lots of new faces to the waterfront.
We encourage submissions from emerging and established artists of all ages.
You can work in any medium you choose as long as it meets our size requirements.
We
are happy to include small works and “giftable” items like prints, cards, stickers or
magnets… Think, things that could fit in a suitcase.
- Original works must be no larger than 8”x10” and prints no larger than 11”x14”.
- All works must be for sale, as we are a commercial gallery.
- Please sign your name somewhere on your work (front or back are acceptable) and have a title written on the backside of your work. Please deliver your art ready to display or hang on the wall with hooks, wire etc.
- Submissions must be your own work.
- No in-person submissions. Submissions will only be accepted by email to: gallery@argylefa.com
- Name (first and last)
- Phone number & email address
- Title of pieces and materials used to create the work
- Images of each individual piece, in a JPEG format ONLY.
- Title each image as follows: last name, first initial_title of piece_number of submission.
Ex: McGuireC_GreenRoom01.jpeg McGuireC_BlueRoom02.jpeg
If selected, you will be notified by phone or email no later than Saturday May 16th. Once we inform you that you are ACCEPTED you can bring your work to the gallery or send by mail.
After the show ends, you are responsible for the return of your paintings in person or at your cost if we are shipping back.
PLEASE NOTE Pieces that are selected for this pop-up will be priced by the artist or with gallery assistance, with standard 50% commission. Please keep this price in mind when creating your pieces. If you have any questions regarding the submission process please phone, email or drop into the gallery during our operating hours.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
