Exhibition Overview
Each Exhibiting Artist Member may submit one artwork to our Themed Members' Exhibition: Spring Forward. In the depths of winter it's nice to imagine what spring will bring. Show us your most colorful, spring like, positive-spirited, and forward-looking works to lift our spirits. This show is not juried and all submissions will be installed. Please note that this is a special show and is not the Spring Members' Exhibition with cash prizes. That show is is March.
Works in all media are welcome. Works may be no larger than 36" in any direction, including the frame. All works must be available for purchase, with the Art Club taking 25% commission. Work must be recent and not previously shown in a members’ exhibition. All submissions must be original and may not utilize published photographs. Giclee prints, reproductions of original artworks, and works created using AI are not acceptable. Diptychs, triptychs, and other multi-part artworks presented separately are not eligible for this show.
Works must be properly prepared for installation. Works on paper must be framed and works on canvas should be framed or presented on gallery wrapped canvas with a finished edge. Works must have a hanging apparatus attached to the back. Please do not deliver paintings that are still wet to the touch to the gallery.
Artists must complete our special online entry form before dropping off the work. Please also label the back of your submission with your name and the title before dropping off. Works are due to the gallery by January 22. Participating artists will be charged a small fee to cover the costs of the opening reception for this show.
Please finish reading the full call for entry below before submitting work, and if you have questions, do not hesitate to email Michael Rose.

If you would like to deliver your work outside of listed hours, please email Michael. He will be happy to assist!
No Packing Material
Do not deliver artworks wrapped. We have very limited storage and will dispose of any packing materials left on site. If a work is particularly fragile and needs to remain packed until installation, please inform the gallery manager and he will accommodate you.
Optional Publicity Image

- If you would like to have a photo of your work considered for inclusion in publicity, please email a JPEG image sized no larger than 25MB to Michael at your earliest convenience. JPEGs should be larger than 856 pixels on the short side. Image files should be clearly labeled with artist name and title.

Insurance
The Art Club carries a blanket policy covering fire and theft, but not breakage. The insurance value is considered 2/3 of the sale price, but no entry is insured for more than $250. We strongly encourage artists to provide their own insurance.
The Art Club reserves the right to reject works that are improperly prepared or that otherwise do not meet our standards at the discretion of the gallery manager.
