ART SUBMISSION GUIDELINES & INSTRUCTIONS

1. CREATE THE WORK
  • Create art work on the face of a flat envelope of any size, shape, or color. (Artwork must be all ages appropriate, nothing overtly sexual or violent.)

2. SUBMIT THE WORK via EMAIL
  • Artists can submit up to 5 pieces. Email a photo / scan (1000 dpi wide) of each piece to [email protected]. The envelope your art is on must not exceed 12" x 15". Include with each submission the artist name, title, dimensions and rough price range. (Submissions will be voted on by the staff and based on the guidelines listed here.)
  • The deadline for submissions via email is January 11, 2019  (DO NOT send the physical piece yet.)
  • Once your submission is approved, we will email you a gallery agreement with more details to sign and return. 

3. SEND THE WORK
  • Conceal something in the envelope. (It can be another work of art, words of wisdom or some other wonderous thing. Nothing perishable, messy, or innapropriate please.)
