General Procedure:
Exhibition applications are accepted throughout the year and can be mailed to the address listed on application. Applicants are asked to submit materials according to the attached checklist.
Express Yourself Studios owners Simone Anthony-Brown and Rodney Brown will review and select exhibits. Exhibitions rotate monthly, $25.00 non-refundable entry fee.
Artist or artists are responsible for related exhibition expenses such as publicity (e.g. postcards, flyers) and reception (beyond the services/amenities provided by Express Yourself Studios).
All exhibits are installed by Express Yourself Studios. Exhibit material must be delivered on the morning of the date specified in the acceptance letter or at a previously arranged time. Installation must occur within the designated time frame. At this time the artist will have an opportunity to discuss display ideas.
A typed list of all items to be exhibited should be presented at delivery or before if possible. This inventory should include: the title, the medium, size or other appropriate description, sale prices or a valuation for insurance purposes for not for sale works. The numbers on this list should be used as identification on each piece and attached to the back on the upper right corner. The inventory will be checked by Express Yourself Studio staff before any exhibits are accepted.
All work should be submitted ready for display. All photos and works on paper should be properly matted and framed. All framed works should be wired securely and ready for hanging.
Review Process:
Proposals will be evaluated on the following criteria:
 Quality of artists' work as demonstrated by the visual documentation submitted.
 Coherence in the exhibition's concept and theme made through the artist statement.
 Quality, innovation, and timeliness of proposed exhibition.
 Appropriateness and adequacy of facilities and equipment at Express Yourself Studios
