Gallery Exhibitions: Open Calls, a New Trend?
Image via freedigitalphotos.net
This August and September, I’ve received several Open Calls for artists to submit to art gallery exhibitions–some with submissions fees and some with no fee required.
The presumption may be that the best galleries do not ask for a submission fee, since they are only interested in bringing in the newest and best artists to show in their space. The galleries that charge a fee may be using the Open Call to bring in funds to pay their bills. In my opinion, it is best to review these opportunities case by case.
Some exciting new spaces may need the monies generated from Open Call artist submission fees, and the small fee an artist pays may be well worth the investment. Be selective! Only submit to the best and most appropriate opportunities for your art. Artist Marketing Resources has been researching commercial galleries over the past few year, and provides extensive information for artists in our PDF art gallery list.
In the UK, the Schwartz Gallery has posted its first Open Call for artist submissions, for their ‘Kiss the Future’ exhibition, a show that will bring together emerging artists across all disciplines including sculpture, painting, installation and video art, photography and design. The show will be on the theme of future worlds: futuristic cities, fantasy bodies, dream travel and other-worldly states-of-mind.
EBSQ Self Representing Artists
EBSQ Self Representing Artists is an online community for artists who want to take control of their own art careers. They describe their site as a hub where you can house your full portfolio, link to all of your online venues, easily establish the provenance of your work with their Digital Certificate of Authenticity tools, and connect with a global art community of artists, artisans, book artists and photographers.
There is a membership fee for artists. I did email to enquire about how much their membership fees are, but have not heard back as yet. Here is the email address for EBSQ– info@ebsqart.com

At Space an annual subscription is $500. A half-year subscription is $300. That is only $125 – $150 per limited edition art object by some of the artists they represent, including: Aaron Koehn, Sarah Kabot, Lorri Ott and Michael Loderstedt. At Spaces an annual subscription is $500. A half-year subscription is $300. That is only $125 – $150 per limited edition art object. Subscribers quarterly art objects may be two-dimensional, three-dimensional or digital. Subscribers do not receive an image of the specific object in advance. The surprise is part of the fun for subscribers.

Share Your Art on Buddy of Work
Buddy Of Work
There’s an interesting blog by painter Henry Samelson that he calls Buddy Of Work. On Buddy of Work artists post an image of their primary work (painting, sculpture etc) alongside work that they consider peripheral yet wholly integral to their main body of work. Resulting in a gallery of art created in a wide variety of materials and styles, often accompanied by rather surprising reference images.
Buddy of Work has no imposed rules. Post your art along with other artists who have posted images that reveal their artistic practice.
Buddy of Work is such an interesting idea for a private form of social media exchange. You could come up with a project of your own, or, share on Buddy of Work by adding your own art images. To add your art, visit the blog and click on the *New Post* button at upper right.

Cabinet Exhibition: Call to International Emerging Artists
English: Cabinet of Curiosities (1690s) by Domenico Remps, Oil on canvas, Opificio delle Pietre Dure, Florence (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
From the WordPress blog Cabinet Exhibition an open call to a group show that will present the work of several international emerging artists. Based on the concept of the early modern ‘Cabinets of Curiosities’, this exhibition draws together painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, video and other more contemporary practices, all arranged in an unconventional display. The result is a sort of arrhythmic mosaic intended to present a panoramic view of art production today.
This exhibition aims to be an immersive experience for the curious visitor who will face an unorthodox eclectic selection of artworks, from street art brought into the gallery to paintings on ham and visual soundscapes, among others. The dialogue between the artworks displayed will favour new analogies and comparisons, leading the visitors to make fresh associations and come out with new ideas.
The exhibition will take place at the Islington Arts Factory in London from the 14th-21st September 2012. http://www.islingtonartsfactory.org/
Art Gallery w/Online Sales + Print Editions and International Group Shows
The Mona Lisa. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I’ve discovered an art gallery that is based in Europe and exhibits their artists all over the world–from New York to São Paulo–and guess what? They also sell their artists’ paintings from their website and offer limited edition print options too! And they have a great reputation and are well-respected in the artist community. So what are your waiting for…oh, that’s right, I didn’t give you that information.
And I didn’t give you that great art licensing site I just added to my 150 page PDF list–a site where lots of artists sell their art printed on various upscale home products and personal accessories.
Oh, and those great online art collectives and galleries I just updated to my gallery list of thousands of links.
Well, guess what again? Today is * no free samples* day here on the Artist Marketing Resources blog. That’s right. We’ve given away lots of information to you already since our start in February 2009. So today, if you want these great resources, and thousands of others gathered and researched over the years, (along with recent new additions to the list) it’s going to cost you $18.95.
That’s right–a collective share list of nearly one thousand places to sell your art is only $18.95! And that includes all future updates! Here is the link: http://artistmarketingresources.webs.com/
One artist said once–“Hey, I can go online and do my own research!” to which I replied, “Sure you can–and hundreds of hours and four years later you could have the equivalent list offered by Artist Marketing Resources. If you calculate your time and effort at $20. per hour plus expenses, you’d rather invest over $20,ooo.00 rather than pay $18.95 for the same information? Plus, for only $18.95 you have all the links together in one PDF and you have access to them right away. (Creating the PDF took a lot of time! I’m an artist and I know how much time and effort it takes to research this stuff! And I know how artists just love sitting for hours and hours in front of their computers doing clerical work! NOT!)
So, it’s up to you! What do you want to do?

The Museum of Virulent Experience and DystoRpia: Calls for Artist Submissions
FoolishPeople is currently inviting submissions from artists working in all mediums to create artworks and installations for their forthcoming exhibition, Virulent Experience, a unique collaboration between Conway Hall and FoolishPeople.
This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work to a wide audience in an historic Central London venue throughout August 2012.
Virulent Experience explores the evolution and devolution of ethics, morals and the impact to the mind, imagination and free will of humans via a fictional future version of London on the eve of the Olympics.
FoolishPeople will transform the historic Conway Hall – a landmark of London’s independent, intellectual, political and cultural life – into The Museum of Virulent Experience, housing the entire banned index of thoughts, emotions and desires in an age where Information Prohibition has begun.
They are looking for artists working in any medium to create a series of works that exist within the narrative and fictional world of the Museum of Virulent Experience. They will also accept proposals for completed works that fit within the context and are pertinent to the piece.
All artists featured within the Virulent Experience exhibition will be included in the exhibition book published by Weaponized, this further explores the themes and context of the project.
Please contact art@foolishpeople.org to obtain the full artist’s brief.

New Artists Added to ArtRegards: Contemporary Art On E-cards
Perhaps ArtRegards is adding artists to their site slowly. I submitted my art a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, ArtRegards, which is a site based in Switzerland, curated me in. I posted several images of my art for anyone using the site to send out on e-cards. Each time someone uses my art on an e-card, I receive a royalty payment. Several of my art images are now available to send on an e-card on ArtRegards.
I noticed a few artists I know on the ArtRegards site as well. It is a fairly new site, and they are accepting artist submissions. ArtRegards, and the site I posted about yesterday, Sandalista, are both simple types of art licensing for artists to do. If you think you might want to try submitting to larger manufacturers who print art on products, Artist Marketing Resources offers an extensive list of art licensing companies –you will find the list here.

Pivot Art Gallery Call for Artists For One Month Site Feature
|
Summer Project New York Selecting Two Artists for Exhibit
This is the third year for The Summer Show Project. I usually avoid posting Calls for Artists that involve a fee, but decided this one could be worth the fee for the right artists. The fee could even be a great bargain if you know you are ready for this opportunity. This opportunity gives emerging or under represented artists an opportunity to have their work seen, recognized and reviewed in a professional gallery setting.
The Michael Foley Gallery states that they “… do not recommend you try to fit your submission into what you might think the gallery is looking for. So, submit what is true for you, regardless of who will be viewing it.”
They will be using a blind jury process. The curators will not be aware of the names attached to the entries during review. At the conclusion of the selection process, all curators will then be given the names of the artists who submitted work so that they might follow-up with them directly.
The Summer Show Project New York
Deadline for submission is May 6, 2012.
The cost of submission is $30 by April 22 and $40 by May 6.
The Summer Show Project offers the unique chance for artists to work directly with the FOLEY Gallery. They are looking for two artists for this exhibition– one artist that works with photography and one artist that makes works on paper. Upon acceptance, the two artists selected will work on your own and with the guidance of gallery owner Michael Foley to create a well curated two person exhibition.
All artists world-wide and from all disciplines who work in photography and works on paper are invited to apply.
Deadline for submission is May 6, 2012. The cost of submission is $30 by April 22 and $40 by May 6.
To apply send 3 jpeg images no wider than 1000 pixels or no more than 700 pixels in height. Resolution must be 72 dpi. Choose three images that show some consistency while staying true to the type of work you are most interested in doing. The work will not be chosen based on theme or style–it doesn’t matter if you consider yourself a journalist, a collage artist or whatever–it’s all about the art.
Submit a statement about your work in 100 words or less. That’s right, 100 words. A caption or title that summarizes the work would be a good way to start.
