Please note: we are currently at capacity for wall space but you may apply & get on our waiting list.
Are you a local artist interested in showcasing your work at the Gallery?
Here’s how to apply:
- You must be a current member of ALNF to display your work in the Gallery.
- Send us an email (or snail mail) with at least 10 photographs of representative samples of your work and include titles, sizes, prices, and mediums.
- Include a short bio and indicate whether or not you are interested in teaching classes or workshops at the Gallery.
- All submissions are pre-reviewed to determine whether or not to move forward with a jury process. You will receive a response one way or another, but it can take time to review so a response will most likely not be immediate.
- Note: Artists who display their work at the Gallery must complete eight (8) hours of volunteer work at the Gallery each month. This work can not be done remotely. Please make sure you are able to make this commitment before applying.
The Jury Process
Once email application is reviewed and approved, a Jury appointment will be set, at which time Artist shall:
- Make an appointment to bring in 5-6 pieces of work,
wired for hanging(or otherwise ready to display, if not wall art) - Fill out an Inventory Drop-off Form and Liability Waiver
- Clearly label each piece with Title, Artist Name, Medium, and Price (or provide a list with this information)
- The Jury process can take up to a week to complete. Upon completion, Artist will be notified of the result.
Note: The Jury process is not a value judgement, it is simply a means to determine if Artist’s work is fit for our particular market and typical clientele. If the Jury declines to accept Artist’s work, this should not be taken to mean the work isn’t good, or “worthy”, only that the Jury did not feel it was a good fit for our space. If requested, Jury feedback may be shared confidentially with Artist.
Upon Jury approval, Artist shall:
- Complete and submit a Form W-9 and an Artist Display contract
- Remit quarterly rental fees for their allotted space
- Sign up on our monthly calendar for training and volunteer shifts
- Complete an inventory list and sign in all work being dropped off for display
A note about art on display:
We understand that art is subjective and often provocative, but because we have frequent children’s art classes and other events in the common space, art that showcases nudity, violence, profane or politically charged dialogue, or other content that may be considered inappropriate for a family-friendly establishment shall not be displayed. If you’re unsure, please contact our Curator for guidance.
Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to your submissions!
