Open calls for Art
"With Love"- a postcard exhibit
Open Call & invitational
Higher Art Gallery is excited to announce an Open Call for:
" With Love", A post Card Exhibit.
This exhibit will be comprised of invited Artists and Artists who answer the open call. This is the first of what we hope will be an annual exhibit which will run during the holiday gift giving season in tandem with our Annual Art Tree Exhibit. (See more below on that).
KEY DATES:
SUBMISSION DATES: August 1st- October 10th
DEADLINE: NOON on October 10th
DEADLINE TO RECIEVE ART: November 4th
Show Dates: November 16th- January 2nd
Criteria & Details:
Like most of our exhibits which run during the holiday season, we try to provide visitors the opportunity to collect works of Art which are small both in size and budget. This exhibit is no different. Postcard size Art is approachable and easy to gift to someone or collect for yourself.
SIZE :
~ALL WORK MUST BE 5" X 7".
Not up to that size, but actually 5" x 7".
The format can be vertical OR horizontal.
~SUBSTRATE: The width can not be more then 1/16th of an inch
Actual postcards are preferred. Other acceptable options: gator board, Masonite, canvas panel, Yupo on a flat panel, illustration paper adhered to flat panel, metal, thin wood.
Essentially anything which can have artwork adhered to it which is a flat, rigid surface and is not more than 1/16th of an inch.
NO gallery wrapped or cradled panels.
The idea is that all the works are flat like a postcard.
DO NOT place any hanging hardware on the back.
~Postcards can be altered but the overall height and length can not change from 5"x 7".
Artwork MAY extend from the front and OUT but NOT down or from the side. This exhibit is displayed in a grid style, thus the need for uniformity in size and shape.
~ We encourage and welcome Artists to create work on both sides if they so choose. Or you may complete one side with writings, or sentiment, a poem, or a statement about the work. Anything you like.
~ NO FRAMES, thank you.
~ If you have any questions about anything above, please reach out and we are happy to discuss.
~ Any type of Art is welcome.
This includes but is not limited to: paintings, sketches, drawings, fiber, stitching, photo transfer, monotypes, wood block printing, Linocut prints, wood burning, assemblage.
Photograph prints or Digital Prints are not accepted.
Photography which incorporates mixed media elements are welcome.
OTHER DETAILS:
~ Artists may submit as many pieces as they would like to be considered.
~ Each piece will be priced retail at $75.
~ The Artist/ Gallery split is 50/50.
~ Jpegs of images for consideration should be emailed to us at:

6th Annual Art Tree Exhibit
Small, Giftable, Collectable works of Art & Ornaments
Artists are invited to participate in one of our most popular shows of the year, as everything which hangs on our Art Tree is small and giftable for visitors.
Important Dates:
Deadline to submit images: October 10th
Show Dates: November 16th - January 2nd
Dates to receive Artwork: November 4th
​
Details & Criteria:
Even though this show runs through the holiday season, the objects, or ornaments do not HAVE to be holiday themed, although they CAN BE.
We are looking for anything which can easily be displayed on our trees throughout the gallery.
​
~All mediums are accepted for consideration:
Soft Sculpture, Fiber, Glass, Fused Glass, ceramic, Mixed Media just to name a few.
~ Artists may submit as many pieces as they like, as we have more than one tree, and pieces are taken by the collector as soon as they sell, so having extra is good for replenishing the tree.
~The limit on retail price is $175. The happy price point for MOST pieces on the Art Tree tends to be between $30- $75.
The Artist/Gallery split is 50/50.
​
THIS IS IMPORTANT: ARTISTS MUST price and label each item.
Some years we receive over 300 ornaments from over 30 Artists. Please Tag your pieces before sending with the retail price and your name or initials.
​
~ Please submit j pegs to:
higherartgallery@gmail.com with " Art Tree" in the subject line.
