PRE-SHRUNK 2019
WOW! Time
flies- it’s already time to start thinking about being part of our biggest
“small” show of the year! Our much loved annual group show asks artists to
create small works on 4”x5” surfaces.We
encourage submissions from both established and emerging artists in their
preferred mediums and all ages of artists,so take a look at the guidelines
below and start making some art!
 |
| Here are 3 examples of Pre-Shrunk paintings by Craig Baltzer. The only really big rule with these little ones is that the surface needs to measure NO MORE THAN 4" x 5". We especially love these deeper/wider edged surfaces shown here. |
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
- Works must be on a 4x5” surface. Pieces that do not measure 4x5” will not be considered.
- If you are sculpting the base of your sculpture must be 4x5”, but there is no height limit.
- Artists may submit a maximum of 5 pieces.
- We ask that you do NOT attach hanging devices (ie wire, hooks, d-rings, etc). The gallery will take care of this for continuity.
- If you are working on paper it must be archival and mounted on a sturdy 4x5” surface that can be hung on the wall. (you can ask us about this
- Works done with materials such as charcoal and pastels must be fixed (ie sprayed) to protect the work.
- You can work in any medium you chose (ie watercolour, oil, graphite, etc.)
- We discourage the use of thin canvas or masonite boards as they are not easily wall mountable.
- Submissions must be new and not previously shown.
