Exhibition Overview
The Art Club is delighted to bring back its popular 16 x 16 show for summer 2024. This work is open to Exhibiting Artist Members only and allows for one submission per artist. Works in all media are welcome. 2D works must be exactly 16” x 16” in size and 3D works may be a maximum of 16” in size. Artists working in 2D must utilize a 16” x 16” panel available via Jerry’s Artarama or Blick Art Supplies (see links at end of call). Artists who work on paper may frame their work, but it must frame out to 16” x 16” exactly. American Picture Frame has 16” x 16” options (see links at end of call). Please note that any panels used must be “cradled” and not flat. Panels and canvases should have at least 7/8" of an edge.
All works must be available for purchase, with the Art Club taking 25% commission. Work must be recent and not previously shown in a members’ exhibition. All submissions must be original and may not utilize published photographs. Giclee prints or other reproductions of original artworks are not acceptable. Diptychs, triptychs, and other multi-part artworks presented separately are not eligible for this show.
Works must be properly prepared for installation. Works must be securely wired with D-Rings. If your work requires an alternative hanging system, it must be approved by the gallery manager in advance. No sawtooth hangers allowed. If a painting is wet or tacky upon delivery it will be sent home.
Artists must complete our special online entry form before dropping off the work. Please also label the back of your submission with your name and the title before dropping off. Works are due to the gallery by Friday July 19 at the latest.
Size Limitation – 2D Submissions Must Be 16” x 16” Exactly:
2D works must be 16” x 16” exactly to their outermost edge and artists should utilize 16” x 16” panels available at Jerry’s Artarama or Blick Art Supplies listed at the end of this call to create their work. Works on panel must not be framed. For artists working on paper, (EG: pastel, watercolor, photography, etc.) works may be framed but must utilize a frame that is exactly 16” x 16” to the outermost edge. 2D Works that are not 16” x 16” exactly will automatically be sent home. 3D Works may be a maximum of 16" in any direction. Please measure your work before delivery.
Preparation:
Artworks must be properly prepared for installation. Works on paper must be framed and under glass. Works on canvas should be framed or must be displayed on gallery wrapped canvas. Works must be wired securely with D-Rings. If you feel a different hanging apparatus is more appropriate for your work, you must have it approved in writing by the gallery manager. Paintings that are wet to the touch will not be accepted. All works must be clearly labeled with name and title on the back at time of delivery. Unlabeled paintings will be sent home.
Delivery of Work:
Works can be dropped off Sunday, July 14 – Friday, July 19, 12-4pm each day. Works may also be delivered outside of these hours by appointment. Thursday, July 19 is the absolute last day to deliver. Late works will not be accepted or installed. Works must be checked in with a member of the gallery staff. Do not leave your work unattended at the Club. All artists must fill out the online entry form before drop off and must label the back of their work with their name and the title of the piece in advance of dropping off. Works that are not clearly and properly labeled on the back at drop off will be sent home.
If you would like to deliver your work outside of listed hours, please email Michael. He will be happy to assist!
No Packing Material:
Do not deliver works with packing material. We do not have storage for packing and will throw it away. If a work is particularly fragile and needs to remain packed until installation, please speak with the gallery manager.
Optional Publicity Image Submissions, Due ASAP:

Insurance:
