We hope to receive all submissions and get back to artists by the following week, as the show opens on January 23rd!
Here are all the details:
ATTENTION ALL ARTISTS : PRE-SHRUNK CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS IS NOW OPEN

Well this is it!
It’s officially time to announce our annual open call for submissions!

Pieces that
do not measure 4” x 5” will not be accepted.

canvas, we ask that you do NOT attach a hanging
device (i.e.: wire or hooks – the gallery
will take care of this for continuity)

working on paper, please mount your works
onto a sturdy 4” x 5” surface that can be hung on the wall.

your name, phone number, email address, and list of
