​

*** Please read carefully: if components are used inside or on the box in a sculptural way such as figurines or sculptural objects, they MUST be made by hand as the MAIN COMPONENT. Assemblage is welcome, but MORE than half of the components must be handmade  with the remainder being found in nature and a small amount being found objects. If you need clarification on this, please reach out. We are staying away from simply gluing store bought items into a box .

​

The idea of this show is to really transform it into something else, so feel free to get as creative with this as you can!

 

PLEASE UTILIZE AN ACTUAL CIGAR BOX. I have some here at the gallery for the local artists if you would like to pick up OR try going to a cigar shop in your area, they usually toss them in the trash and happily donate them if you ask.

 

WE PREFER THE BOXES ARE ABLE TO BE DISPLAYED HANGING RATHER THAN PEDESTAL. OR HAVE THE OPTION TO BE BOTH. WE HAVE LIMITED PREDESTAL SPACE.


 

~ Artists may submit up to 3 pieces for consideration. 

~ Please send high quality images in J-PEG form to our email. Include all sides of the box.

~In the subject line of the email please write “ Love out of the box”

~Please list the title, materials used and dimensions. 

​

~ If your piece is meant to hang, it must have the proper hanging hardware when you deliver .

~ While the theme is “Love out of the box” this can be expressed directly or loosely.

 The gallery split is 50/50
