Rules, Guidelines and Instructions for Submissions
- All submissions must represent the actual artwork as closely as possible. If your work is misrepresented in anyway, or it is photographed in an shoddy way, we cannot present it.
- Linus Galleries exhibits all artwork including photography, paintings, drawings, digital, mixed media, fabric art, chalk, ink, pastels, wax, graphite, sculptures and printmaking.
- Submissions must be made online via our submission form. Your upload must accompany online payment or will not be recognized.
- Submission images are for the gallery to decide on which artworks will be accepted. We are not asking for the originals. Jpeg files should be approx 10 inches (about 2,000 to 3,000 Pixels) on the long side. Due to inconsistencies, we ask that you do not watermark your images.
- Your files must be labeled: First name_Last name_Medium_Name of Show.jpg making sure that underscores go between your name and the name of the piece (i.e. Pablo Picasso_Oil_Abstracts.JPG).
- Resizing copies of your work for submission can be done easily with many free programs or websites. If you are not computer savvy, you can safely download a free program on download.com or type “resize pictures” into a search engine and go to the many websites that are listed to resize for you. We recommend Irfranview, but there is a learning curve to it.
- Cost of submission is $35 for 3 entries and $5 per every entry thereafter. It is a non-refundable fee and no changes of images can be made after you submit without another entry fee. Your submissions do not guarantee inclusion into a show. The decision to accept entries into a show is based solely on the Gallery.
- If your submission is accepted we will provide a link to your website or social media site on the accepted artists’ page. If your website or social media goes down, so will our link to your site.
- We cannot guarantee that you’ll be notified by email. We attempt to decide two weeks or so after the close of the show, depending on schedules. Like us on Facebook or our Youtube channel so that you know if you were accepted.
- Accepted entries are represented by Linus Galleries, but not exclusively. They will be part of our online exhibitions permanently at the discretion of the gallery, and if sold through Linus Galleries, the gallery will the 40% commission.
- Artist maintains copyright. Other galleries may represent your work, and whoever sells the artwork can gain the commission.
- All entrants grant Linus Galleries the right to use or publish images of their work to promote the art exhibits, future call for entries, videos, or the art galleries. All accepted entries will be placed on this website or blog and other social media sites.
- All entries must be the original work of the entrant and must not infringe the rights of any other party. The entrants must be the sole owner of copyright in all photographs entered and must have obtained written permission of any people featured in the entries or their parents/guardians if children under 18 are featured. Artist is fully responsible to obtain all model or property releases.
