General: This is an open (non-juried) show with entries from OSA and PPF members; there is no theme. The gallery reserves the right to reject artwork that crosses acceptable boundaries. This would include misogynistic imagery, depiction of extreme violence or graphic sexuality, and objectionable political or religious imagery.
Size/matting/framing: Photographs must be matted, framed and ready to hang with an outside long dimension not exceeding 48”. Artwork that exceeds 30” in any dimension must utilize Plexiglas rather than standard glass. Frames must use D rings (mounted 3” from the top of the frame) and wire (wire to be tight) in order to be compatible with the hanging system. Matting and framing must meet generally recognized gallery standards. Please use mats that are acid free and neutral in color. Gallery frames in black wood or metal are preferred. Frames should be new or in excellent condition. Frames for metal photographs are not required. Members will be responsible for delivering and picking up their artwork on the dates and times above. By participating, you agree to the terms of this prospectus.
Sales: OSA does not take commission on art sales. They will collect funds from buyers and provide to the artist at pickup. Any artwork that is sold must remain on exhibit for the duration of the show.
Release and fees: Please download and complete OSA’s Art Show Release Form. Bring the form with you to take in, along with $25 (per artist, not per image) for up to 3 images payable to OSA. Show Release Form can be found at this link: www.oregonsocietyofartists.com/images/docs/GalleryReleaseForm.pdf
Submission: Please contact Tim Mahoney (tb.mahoney@frontier.com) no later than Friday, April 21, to indicate your interest and how many photographs you would like to hang and titles of images (maximum 3). In the email, please indicate an order of preference for your photographs. Based on interest, it may be necessary to limit how many photographs each artist may have in the show.
Title cards: OSA will prepare title cards for the wall based on take in information. You are advised to also label the back of your artwork with your name and the title of the work.
Volunteers: OSA will be open daily from 1:00pm to 4:00 following the reception. The pool for Gallery Sitters will come from both OSA and PPF. There will be a sign-up calendar at the time of take-in to indicate when you can help for an afternoon during this exhibit. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
