Exhibition Overview
Each Exhibiting Artist Member may submit one artwork to Members’ Miniatures 2025. Works in all media are welcome. Works may be no larger than 4" 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 or other reproductions of original artworks 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. Because of the small scale of this show, artists may use sawtooth but they must be installed correctly and works with sawtooth hangers must also have picture feet. 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 Thursday, July 17. Participating artists will be charged a small fee to cover the costs of the opening reception for this show.
