Calls for Entry

Submission Agreement

Agreement to Participate

Submitting the entry form indicates that you agree with the conditions of entry and exhibit as outlined in the prospectus of each exhibit that you agree to make your selected artwork available and that you will ship/deliver it to the gallery should it be selected artwork for exhibit. 

 Accepted artworks may not be substituted and prices may not be changed once submitted for jurying.

Beyond our limited liability coverage for theft or natural disaster, it is the artist's responsibility to carry additional insurance for any of their works sent for exhibition.

Submission Images

3 Square Art Gallery accepts only digital images/files by email for consideration. The Gallery will retain the submitted images of accepted artwork and reserves the right to use the images in publications and gallery publicity. Beyond such use, the artist retains full copyright of exhibited work.

We do not accept any artwork for replacement of submitted artwork after the deadline and jurying process has started.

***Submitted dimensions (including frame) must be accurate. Works that differ significantly from submitted size may require relocation or may not be included in the exhibition.

Awards

Awards will be judged in person. All finalist works must be delivered or shipped to 3 Square Art – Fine Art Gallery. Only works physically exhibited in the gallery will be considered for awards.

Availability

Enter only work that will be available for the full exhibit dates. Do not double-book a piece, commit it to a conflicting show, or sell it unless it will still be available for our exhibit. If you sell an accepted work before the show, sell it with that condition, or do not enter it. You may not replace a submitted work after the deadline, once jurying has started, or after acceptance. You may not change the price after jurying.

Rights of Refusal
