Application Requirements
5 pieces of work (presented either digitally or physical). If the artist creates work in a different medium, they will need to present 1 of each type.
Besides a digital submission, artists will need to present a minimum of five actual works as part of the jury process.
Artwork should include title, medium, and list price on the piece
Digital images should include a description of the piece, title, medium, size, and list price.
Work must be in its original form (no prints unless it is photography). (Print reproductions will be allowed in the gallery once the artist is juried in.)
Work should be “gallery ready,” meaning they are finished/framed as you intend to present them in an exhibition at Vision Arts Gallery.
All work should be of original design, material, and execution. For example, in beaded jewelry - it is desired that the beads be handmade unless a detailed beaded application is being used (i.e., seed beads).
A $40 non-refundable jury fee is required at the time of submission. If accepted the jury fee will be applied to the cost of your first year of membership.
If the Gallery Director would like an in-person meeting to view the artist’s actual pieces, they will contact you directly with a calendar link to set that up.
Accepted Artists Information
Accepted artists will receive notice along with a New Member package and a contract that must be signed and returned to Vision Arts Gallery before any work may be exhibited. The Gallery Director will arrange a date and time for a new member orientation to provide you with valuable information about Vision Arts Gallery and gallery policies and procedures.
Accepted exhibiting artists are encouraged to volunteer their time to come to the gallery at least 1 day a month (a minimum of 12 hrs/year) to talk with customers and be involved in the gallery operations. (a gallery-sitting schedule is forthcoming). In addition, all artists are asked to help with the Special Events (i.e., 1st Friday Art Walk, holiday events, featured artist activities). The gallery has the option of calling artists to help when the owner or others need assistance. Exhibiting and studio artists are highly encouraged to work along side the gallery to do self-promotion activities to promote their artwork and their participation in the gallery itself.
Vision Arts Gallery holds a monthly meeting of all exhibiting and studio artists to help build a solid creative community.
Monthly Exhibiting Artist Fee: $100/month
Commission: 80% to the artist / 20% to Vision Arts Gallery.
Artists who are not accepted at this time will receive juror feedback and overall scores. This feedback is provided as a means toward constructive development of the work and possible areas of future study. The staff is not authorized or informed to discuss scores or results with applicants.
