Juried Exhibitions
By Karen Atkinson, courtesy of Side Street Projects
The information below is part of a series of guides that outline the pros and cons of various types of venues.
ABOUT: Offered worldwide, through galleries, museums, organizations and arts councils.
EXPECTATIONS: Usually have entry fees attached. They may offer prizes or awards, and sometimes a catalog.
PROS: One way to get visibility for your work. Sometimes have established curators as jurors.
CONS: Can be expensive. A good juror does not ensure high quality of work chosen or visibility for the artist. The selection of artists’ work is not always what you would like your work to be seen with. Artist is most often responsible for shipping, framing and packing of work.
RESEARCH: Art classifieds, Web sites and local listings.
RESOURCES: Art Calendar’s Web site, nyfa.org, art calendars, Artweek, Afterimage and other sites.
