12 12 GALLERY announces an open call to all artists creating works on paper, the International Juried Exhibition of Works on Paper 2011. The exhibition juror, Dan Welden, Master Printmaker and Director of Hampton Editions, Ltd, will award up to $1000 in cash prizes.
ELIGIBILITY
Artists around the world, age 18+, may submit up to 3 images of works on paper to be considered for the exhibition. For the purposes of this exhibition, works on paper include, but are not limited to, monotypes, photography using any photographic process, hand-pulled prints from any printmaking process (etching, solarplate, linocut, lithographs, etc), watercolor, acrylic, or oil on paper. Additional images may be submitted at additional cost for up to a total of 5 works. Work previously exhibited at 12 12 Gallery is not eligible.
ENTRY PROCEDURE Entrants are asked to submit digital images on CD, DVD or online ONLY. Only one image may be submitted for each work.
Preparing Digital Files. Composition and artistic merit will be evaluated by high resolution digital images. Generate a digital file of each image at a resolution of 300 ppi, with the longest dimension being 1900 pixels. Save the file in JPG format, at the maximum quality level, which results in a compressed final image size that is approximately 2MB. Label each file with the last name, first initial, and the number corresponding to the entry number (e.g. SmithJ1). Please identify images on the entry form with the title of the work.
Mailed or Hand-Delivered Entries. CD or DVD, completed entry form, entry fee, and SASE (for return of CD and notification) must be postmarked by Friday, April 15, 2011 and sent to 12 12 Gallery, Zero E. 4th Street #39, Richmond, Virginia, 23224.
