OPEN CALL FOR ART
Artists in the 717 area code are invited to create a piece of art for our November/December exhibition:
717 Squared
This is an open theme, open media call in which all the work is presented on square, 10x10 inch panels.
To show in this exhibit, you pay a $30 registration fee, which includes a 10x10 inch cradled wood panel and exhibition label from Third Story. Use your panel to create a painting or mixed media work, or mount a paper work to it, and return the panel to Third Story by October 27.
REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED FOR THIS EXHIBIT.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What does it cost to participate?
The $30 registration fee includes the cost of the panel.
How do I get my panel?
You can come to Third Story during our gallery hours to pay the application fee, and we will give you the panel at that time, OR you may pay the admission fee online and we will reserve a panel for you to be picked up during our gallery hours.
What are the dates of the exhibition?
The opening event will be on Friday, November 1, from 5pm to 8pm. The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, December 21.
How are paintings selected for the exhibit?
Everyone who registers and returns a panel by October 27 gets in!
Should I frame the panel or wire the panel for hanging?
No, thanks! We want a consistent look across the gallery, so, no frames, please. Similarly, in order to have all the panels hang level with one another on the wall, we are asking that you do not add any hanging hardware to the back of the panel. It is your choice whether you wish to paint the sides of the panel or leave them bare.
What happens if you sell my painting?
Since you will have already given us money for the registration fee, our commission for this show is 25%. We will reimburse you at the conclusion of the show.
What happens if you don’t sell my painting?
The exhibit closes on December 20. Any unsold paintings must be picked up on December 21, between 11am and 3pm OR on January 4, between 11am and 3pm. We are willing to make appointments for pick up if these times do not suit.
Paintings unclaimed by January 9 will be handled at the discretion of Third Story.
