NOTE on IMAGE FILE: Juried-In work will not only be on display at the Mill, but will also be displayed in an Online Gallery.
Make sure you submit a professional high-quality image both for jurying and for potential buyers to view your work at its best.
Submitting HIGH-QUALITY images of your artwork is absolutely essential.
FRAMING
All works that hang must be framed, finished and ready to hang with screw-eyed hooks and wire on the back - no sawtooth hangers.
For gallery wrap canvas, an option is finished sides rather than framing. NOTE: gallery-wrap canvas should be a minimum of 1½” canvas depth – not smaller. Finished sides mean that the edges have paint applied to all four sides, either the image continues over the edges (preferred) OR the sides are painted in a color - not left white. During check-in, if art does not meet the criteria, it will not be accepted.
DIMENSIONS
should be size of image/canvas – not framed size.
Selection process and artist notification:
The artistic work submitted by each artist is juried based upon the following criteria:
1. Body of Work: How well the images represent a point of view
2. Artistic Theme: Design, vision, creativity, originality
3. Technical Execution: Technique, skill, degree of difficulty, mastery of materials used
