The Coast Collective Gallery has placed a call out for newer artists for a upcoming show. See the details below and contact them directly if you are interested. Also, feel free to contact us if you would like to place work on our site for sale! Remember to enjoy what you do, not stumble through the legalities of how to sell, take the hand of those who are looking to help you and you will find success around the corner!
Beginnings January 14 - 24, 2010 This Second Annual Emerging Artists Show is an opportunity for artists who have not yet become professional to show their work in a professional Gallery environment. An opportunity for new artists to get exposure and encouragement; a place for art lovers to see and buy wonderful works early in an up-and-coming artists career. Call for Amateur Artists This exhibition is designed to encourage AMATEUR artists by providing them the opportunity to exhibit their best work in a gallery setting, with feedback in the form of ratings by professional art instructors and a lecture providing information about framing professional art. Jurors ribbons will be awarded for potential. For artists with low ratings, feedback will be provided about how their work might be improved. All submitted work must be original, not copied from any other artists, which includes not using photographs other people have taken. For the purposes of this show, and emerging or amateur artist is defined as someone who: does not yet exhibit work in commercial settings, eg. rent space in major shows or fairs, has not yet had work accepted into a major juried art show, has no history of public presentations, is not represented by any commercial business, does not work professionally in visual arts or does not instruct others. Jurying for this show is not intended to disqualify any entry, but to provide feedback to the artist. If we have more work than we can accommodate in the Gallery space, we will reduce the number of pieces through random selection. We do reserve the right to reject work that we consider inappropriate in our family-friendly gallery. A hanging fee of $5 per piece will be charged when your work is delivered to the Gallery. All works must be for sale unless prior arrangements are made with the Coast Collective. Since only a limited amount of space can be allocated for Not For Sale works, your work may not be accepted unless it is for sale. A 15% commission will be assessed on all art sales. In order to keep costs low, we ask that you bring food to share (pot luck) to the opening reception. Applications must be received by 5pm, Sunday January 3, 2010, Maximum of 4 pieces per artist. Applications may be completed on-line (Preferred). Digital images of your work must accompany electronically filed application, and the on-line form will give you a space to attach them. Alternately, the form may be printed, scanned and e-mailed to gallery@coastcolelctive.ca along with digital images; or printed and mailed to: Gallery, Coast Collective, 3221 Heatherbell Road, Victoria, BC V9C 1YR; or delivered to Coast Collective during regular business hours, Thursday through Sunday, noon to 5:00 PM. For hard-copy applications, we would still prefer the images be e-mailed, but we will accept printed images.
