Cost of shipping artwork to and from the gallery will be at the artist’s expense. Artwork must be shipped in a reusable carton.
NOTE: Artwork packed with Styrofoam peanuts will not be unboxed or exhibited.
Online Exhibition
If you do not want to ship your work, you may opt to participate in the Online Exhibition only. Size and weight limitations do not apply. Artists exhibiting in the gallery will automatically be included in the Online Exhibition. The same JPEG file format, size and naming convention apply.
PRICING
Price should include the gallery commission of 35% with the Artist receiving 65%. Artwork need not be for sale, however the exhibition will also serve as a fundraiser for Gallery Route One and artists may volunteer to donate a greater percentage of sales up to 100% to the Gallery. Art sales percentages apply to both online and in gallery sales. Buyer pays shipping costs directly to the artist once the shipping destination is known.
* PLEASE NOTE: This invitation to exhibit does not apply to artists who have exhibited solely in the Project Space (Visiting Artists) or in any of our juried shows, curated group shows or in the Box Show.
