Gallery Submission Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in submitting your work to the Gallery at PhotoWorks. The following is a list of requirements that should be met in order for the gallery to properly evaluate your portfolio. If you are unable to comply with any of the requirements, please contact a gallery representative prior to submission in order for proper consideration to be given to your work. A failure to meet the guidelines without prior contact will result in the work being returned to you without review. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
- You must submit a minimum of 12 images with a maximum of 24 images. If you are accepted, additional images may be represented if available.
- Please submit a representative cross section of your work. The Gallery at PhotoWorks desires to show artists’ work in groupings of similar work or theme. Please keep this in mind with your submission. Submit your work on the paper surface that will be offered for sale, please, no ink jet prints unless the printing is integral to the process.
- Please submit at least 2 prints in the largest size that you offer. For example, if you offer sizes ranging from 8x10 to 20x30, submit at least 2 prints in the 20x30 size. This allows the gallery to evaluate print quality. In this regard, please submit the largest print size from the smallest camera format. (For example, if you capture using both 35mm and 6x7cm, please submit the largest print from 35mm and 6x7cm.)The balance of the submission may be in a size of the artists’ choosing.
