Application
When choosing media category, allow the function of the work to determine the category rather than the material (i.e. metal furniture should apply in furniture and not in metal). For further information, see media definitions. When preparing images remember it is the majority of work that determines media category. Send ONE booth shot. If an individual artist wishes to apply in two different media categories, two separate applications must be submitted. If only one application is accepted, only work in that medium may be exhibited. If an individual is working in a variety of styles within one medium, then he or she should submit only one (five images) application reflecting these various styles. If an individual does both one of a kind and production work, for example, images of each kind of work must be shown in the same proportion to be exhibited at the Art Expo. Artists working together may apply as one if they collaborate on every piece. If accepted, they may exhibit only pieces that are a collaboration.
Image Information
1. Send 6 images: 5 or current work to be exhibited, 1 booth image.
2. Standard 2” x 2” slide mounts only. Images on CD-Rom should be a minimum of 300 dpi to 600 dpi.
3. Print name at the top of each slide. Number each slide to correspond to the application description. For CD-Rom submissions, please print your name on the disc.
4. Offline application and slides must be postmarked by Feb 20, 2008.
5. If you wish your slides to be returned, please include a self addressed #10 legal size envelope along with appropriate postage (2 stamps).
6. byDesign Publishing is not responsible for returning slides without proper postage or incorrect or no return address. byDesign cannot be responsible for the condition of mail as it travels through the postal system.
Liability & Insurance
The Art Expo byDesign will provide security on the grounds both day and night; however, each artist exhibits at his or her own risk. Neither the show management nor the facility is responsible for damage, theft or loss of an individual's work.
