ENTRY GUIDELINES

·          There is no entry fee to submit artwork. 

·          If accepted, artists are asked to contribute $25 to off-set the cost of printing, website services, & promotion of the show.  No artist will be turned away due to lack of funds. Artists unable to contribute an exhibition fee can email uzoMa to request a fee waiver or may offer assistance in hanging the show, or other tasks in exchange.  Once you receive confirmation of acceptance, please submit fees by mail, or via paypal at uzoma@sprynet.com along with a completed entry form if this hasn't already been done. 

·          Please provide images/documents of artwork that fits the theme.  If you have multiple images or a small group or series that fit the theme, please include images of each piece.  Each piece or series, must include an artist’s statement. (I am willing to view works in progress or a proposal for a theme-based work along with a general work sample...please arrange with me if this is necessary.)

·          Accepted artists are responsible for their own postage and shipping to and from the gallery. (Any exceptions to this are in special circumstances & must be arranged.)

For initial inquiries or multiple images, please send jpeg images in a resolution & size appropriate for online viewing (approx 70dpi & screen-sized). If you attempt to send a larger file, please send only one attachment per email.   (If your work is accepted, you are invited to send an image appropriate for print & promotional purposes at that time to be considered for inclusion.  Approx. 6X9 & 300dpi)   

·          Please do not send your original work - dvds, cds, photos, slides will not be returned.
