GALLERY CALL FOR ARTISTS

Gallery@37

The Valley Arts Council is issuing a Call to Artists to exhibit in our art gallery at 37 Elizabeth Street in Derby. All artwork must be suitable in content for general audiences and ready to display subject to approval of the Gallery Advisory Board. Two dimensional artwork, including painting, drawing, photography, fabric and mixed media must be wired for hanging. No sawtooth hangers will be accepted. Artwork on canvas must be framed or gallery wrapped. Prints of original artwork on display will be accepted only with suitable display racks. Bases for sculpture and freestanding displays for jewelry and other small items must be provided by the artist and must be presentable and in good condition.

This exhibit is open to all current members of the Valley Arts Council. Membership applications for new and renewal memberships must be submitted with full payment of dues prior to acceptance of artwork. Due to the time and cost required to operate this gallery, artists must commit to two hours of gallery sitting or pay a fee of $20.00 for each piece of artwork submitted for each exhibit period of six weeks. Fee for small items will be based on the size of the collection. Fee for prints of original artwork will be included in the fee for the original artwork submitted.

Collection of artwork will take place at the gallery during business hours.  Currently the gallery is open Thursday and Friday nights from 4-8pm, Saturdays from 4-10pm and Sundays from 2-6pm.  Name and contact information must be attached to any artwork, case or pedestal brought into the gallery. Please include a biography and some information regarding the artwork (style, time to complete, inspiration, past exhibits, rewards, etc.) Every picture has a story to tell and any information you provide will help to promote and sell your artwork.

Questions can be directed to info@valleyartscouncil.org or by contacting Rich DiCarlo at 906-4343.
