Artist Guidelines and Rules For Submissions To Linus Galleries

Rules, Guidelines and Instructions for Submissions

1. 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.
2. Linus Galleries exhibits all artwork including photography, paintings, drawings, digital, mixed media, fabric art, chalk, ink, pastels, wax, graphite, sculptures and printmaking.
3. Submissions must be made online via our submission form. Your upload must accompany online payment or will not be recognized.
4. 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.
5. 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).
6. 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.
7.  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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
