Eligibility International call open to all artists. All work must be original, completed in the last three years.

The curated exhibit “Art & Paper” is about integrating paper in the artist’s mediums. The submissions do not necessarily have to be only drawings, paintings, or printmaking on paper, but also 3D art: sculptures, mixed media pieces, etc. The possibilities are endless, and the only requirement is that paper has to be part of the art piece in some ways. Smaller scale artwork (max. 11×8) is preferred, but we are accepting also larger size submissions. For this show, there is a non refundable curator fee $25, and the artist can submit 4 images for this fee. After careful consideration, 40 pieces will be picked out of the submissions, being the winners, and the will be displayed at Arterie Fine Arts gallery in March.

An art book with the winning entries will be available upon request.

Media and Specifications Accepting submissions of original prints, works on paper, and artist handmade books. Digital and photographic processes may be a part of the finished works.

Submissions Digital jpeg images (no larger than 300 dpi) should be sent directly with artist name in subject line.
