Anything made with AI and prints that are a reproduction of the original will not be accepted. You must describe your medium and process.

The entry fee of $35 covers three artwork submissions per artist. The fee is non-refundable and does not guarantee that your work will be accepted into the show. It must be paid by following the link on our website for “artist submissions”

Each entrant may submit up to three works. If you submit additional detailed images, you must include the word “detail” in the title. The form allows 5 images in total.

If accepted artwork is heavier than 50 lb. the artist will have to assist in installation and removal.

Submission of Work
All entries will be processed through our “artist submissions” link on our website at www.mixartgallery.com/artist-submissions

All image files should be labeled as follows: Year, month, last name, FIRST NAME (all caps), image number (01,02,03 etc.), and title of work (or short title).jpg. For example:

Choose your title, description, and pricing carefully. While we expect there may be a few typos to correct, in order to upload your images and information to our online gallery and store in a timely manner, we cannot accept changes of title or price changes after submission. Price your work thoughtfully, and then add on the percentage for the commission if you choose.

Delivery of Work
If your work is accepted into the show, it must be hand delivered by you (or someone you designate) to the gallery between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm on Saturday, October 26th. If you live too far away to hand deliver your work, consider mailing it to someone in the area who could deliver it for you. Or contact wendy@mixartgallery.com to receive delivery of out-of-town artwork. Any work sent to her must be sent UPS only and have a prepaid return label included in the package. Shipping costs and insurance are the responsibility of the artist. The address for the artwork to be sent to, is not the gallery address. Please discuss the details with Wendy to arrange for the delivery of the work.

All work hand-delivered to the gallery must be retrieved on Sunday, November 24th, 2024, between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
