International Juried Exhibition Prospectus for WINTER SPLENDOR Still Point Art Gallery invites submissions for its upcoming online exhibition: WINTER SPLENDOR. Art Inspired by Winter! I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape — the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show. ~Andrew Wyeth The color of springtime is in the flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination. ~Terri Guillemets may be submitted for a fee of $5 each, up to a maximum of 8 images at $50. ($25 for 3 images plus $25 for an additional 5 images to reach the maximum of 8 images at $50) If entry form and image submission are completed online, payment may be made online by PayPal or credit card immediately following submission of images. If submission is completed by email, include the following information about each image in the message: title, medium, dimensions, framed/unframed (for photography), and price (if you wish to list one; NFS is acceptable). Please also include name, address, and home or cell number. Payment may be made by requesting a PayPal invoice or by check or money order. If images are submitted on a CD, please include an entry form. Again, payment may be made by requesting a PayPal invoice or by check or money order. Write checks payable to Still Point Art Gallery and mail to 193 Hillside Road, Brunswick ME 04011. Dates and Deadlines October 1, 2013 - Submissions Close (Deadline) October 25, 2013 - Notification of Artists December 1, 2013 - Still Point Arts Quarterly Winter Issue Released November 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014 - Featured Exhibition (Online) Eligibility Open to artists around the world 18 years of age or older who submit artwork in any medium except video and wearable art. Submissions must be the creation of the artist. Reproductions of original artwork are not permitted. Images Artists may choose one of three ways to submit images: (1) upload images using our online form; (2) send images by email [you may still pay online]; or (3) send images on a CD. Whatever way is chosen, images should be saved in jpg format and resized. The size of the file should be no more than 1.5 MB and the maximum dimension of the image should be no more (and not much less) than 1000 pixels. Failing to resize images will result in problems with uploading. The file name of your image should follow this convention - last name, title of work (perhaps abbreviated), and number (matching entry form number) [for example, SMITH_SUNNYDAY_3.jpg]. Do not include stray characters such as # or * in the file name. Doing so will prevent the file from uploading properly. Emailed mages should be sent to director@stillpointartgallery.com. Images on a CD should be sent to Still Point Art Gallery, 193 Hillside Road, Brunswick, Maine 04011. CDs will not be returned. Once the submission deadline has passed, no image substitutions may be made. Selection and Awards No more than thirty (30) artists will be chosen for the exhibition, making selection competitive. Selections will be made by the editorial staff of Still Point Arts Quarterly. All selected images will appear in our online gallery, and at least one of each selected artist’s works will be printed in the Winter 2013 issue of Still Point Arts Quarterly. Five (5) awards will be given: Award for Best in Show (Single Image); Award for Best in Show (Portfolio…Three or More Images; Award for Best Photograph or Digital Artwork; Award for Best Painting; and Award for Best Three-Dimensional or Mixed Media Work. Each award recipient will be invited to exhibit his or her art for one year as a Gallery Artist; and is invited to submit a portfolio for publication in Still Point Arts Quarterly, which comes with an honorarium of $100, one year of free advertising worth $180, and a free one-year subscription to the Quarterly worth $36. Also, the exhibition and its award recipients are advertised on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and our Blog. Press releases are submitted to worldwide information feeds through several major press release distribution services. Sales Still Point Art Gallery does not engage in the selling of art. Artwork may be listed with a price, may be listed NFS, or may be listed as Contact the Artist. If a price is listed and if an interested buyer contacts the Gallery, the buyer's information is given to the artist. The artist may then contact the potential buyer. If a sale occurs, the Gallery does not expect any commission. Use Rights By submitting work to be considered for the exhibition, artists grant Still Point Art Gallery the right to use their image(s) for the purpose of marketing. Entry Application and Fee Artists are asked to complete an entry form and submit a nonrefundable fee of $25 for up to 3 images.
