Hello, folks! We're
pleased to announce that after an absence last year, the
Kids' Art Show is back for its fifth
installation!
For anyone who
wants to participate, our submission guidelines are below.
The show opens on
Friday, December 10. We will host a reception from
6pm until 9pm, where you'll be able to meet the artists and talk to
them about their art.
Please come out and
meet the artists and have some snacks.
SUBMISSION
GUIDELINES
Here are our
submission guidelines for our Fifth Kids' Art Show. The opening
party for the show will be Friday, December 10, 2008, from 6pm
until 9pm.
* Submissions are
due between Wednesday, December 1 and Wednesday, December 8. Please
do not bring submissions earlier because we will not have space to
store them! Please don't bring them later because we will begin
hanging the show Thursday, December 9!
* Submissions must
be by kids in middle school or younger!
* Artists are
limited to one submission. We want to be able to display work by as
wide a range of artists as possible, so we won't be able to display
more than one per artist.
* Submissions may
be any media that we can easily hang. This includes paintings,
drawings, photographs, collage, and more. Unfortunately this means
most sculpture is out. A three dimensional piece which hangs from
the wall is fine, as long as it's not too heavy for us to display,
but we will not have the ability to display free-standing
sculpture.
* Submissions must
be framed and ready for hanging. If the piece is painted on
stretched canvas, we can hang that easily without a frame, but
anything on paper needs to be framed. You don't have to spend money
at a frame shop; you can use any frame from the drug store,
supermarket, or even thrift shop that fits your piece. We hate to
turn anything away, but we will have to turn away art that is not
easily hangable.
* The art doesn't
have to be comic-related, but it can be if you want it to!
* Art in the show
does not have to be for sale, but it can be!
* You will get your
art back at the end of the show, unless you decide to sell it and
someone buys it.
* Feel free to call
or email if you have any questions!
* Just like with
our other art shows, the artist puts a price on the art. We take a
25% commission, which means that if your art sells, we will collect
the money, then, at the end of the show, we will give you 75 cents
out of every dollar, and we'll keep 25 cents of every dollar. For
example, if you put a price of $10 on your art, and someone bought
it, we would give you $7.50, and we would keep $2.50.
* The show will
last from Friday, December 10, until approximately Sunday, January
1.
* Teachers are
welcome to present this art show to their students, but we cannot
accept mass submissions from teachers. If kids want to participate
in the show, they'll need to have their parents bring them to the
shop to drop off the art and fill out a form.
* Have fun!
We hope to receive
submissions from lots of kids for the art show. The receptions for
the kids' art shows we've hosted in the past have been among the
biggest we've done; they're a lot of fun!
