FOR ARTISTS

We are always open to discovering new artists and new artwork for our gallery shows. If you’d like to share your work for consideration, do send us an email. Share some images and/or a link to your website if you have one.
We’ll be sure to get back to you.
While some of our shows are by invitation only, we will sometimes have an exhibition with an ‘open’ call for entries. These will be sent to our Artist Mailing List and also posted below.
(If you’d like to be added to our Artists Mailing List, just ask!)

We look forward to hearing from you.

CALL FOR ENTRIES
2024

We are excited to be planning our upcoming exhibition
and invite New England artist to submit images for consideration.

Hello Artists...


We are excited to be planning our upcoming exhibition, and we invite you to submit images for consideration.
The theme can be interpreted very broadly... so don't pass without reading on!
Submissions are due with a February 18th deadline. 

Do read the 'blurb' in full.
(See below)
 

'MEMORIES'

A THEMED SHOW
April 4 - May 4, 2025

Opening Reception
Saturday, April 5 @5pm

 You can submit work in any media, size, format or style.
2D or 3D

AS ALWAYS....
We seek a diverse range of work - varying in size, (large is fine, it's not just a small works show) and a variety of media, subject matter, and price.
We'll select abstract, realistic, and everything in between.

The show will run over the big 250th Anniversary Celebrations of Patriot's Day in Lexington - We expect that many thousands of people will be in and out of town the weekend of 18th - 21st.

WHAT ARE WE THINKING?
We'd like to include all these broad interpretations of the theme:

  •  memories of times past (recently past, or long ago) portrayed literally or in a more abstract way

  • memories captured, of local scenes or events, local people or places 

  • images that include or infer times past or time passing

  • images including (or referring to) vintage or historical objects, vintage papers/materials etc  

  • work that has its own history - with layers built up and/or revealed

  • images reflecting past & present / change

  • a personal memory with special meaning that might relate also to the viewer

  • some memories will be mellow and reflective, others upbeat and celebratory

  • or your own alternative interpretation of the theme


As always we seek a dynamic selection of varied work. Our taste is eclectic and we want to offer something appealing for all our diverse art-buyers.

   TO DO:

 SEND IMAGE FILES FOR CONSIDERATION
We encourage you to send us (to this email address: info@gallerytwist.com) digital images for consideration. (ideally images of 5 pieces or more, although less is fine... and as many as you like.)

Send them as soon as you like, and by Tuesday, February 18th latest.
(You'll be informed shortly thereafter if your work is selected. (By Friday, February 21st, latest.)

Please also label files to include pertinent info:
name_title_media_size_price.jpg
e.g. ROSS_Remembrance_Monotype_15x15_$500.jpg

File size is flexible; around 1MB is good as a rough guide.

If you haven't shown work here before, please give us an idea of how you frame or otherwise present your work for gallery display. (i.e what do your frames look like?)

MORE INFO

The gallery's commission on any work sold is 35%.

There is no fee for submitting work for consideration.

N.B. We usually ask artists to bring a little more work than we know we actually have space for initially. This gives us flexibility while hanging the show, and allows us to have extra work on hand to ‘fill gaps’ when visitors purchase pieces they want to take right away (for gifts etc).

All work selected will be included in the online version of the show.

  • Once work is selected, we'd be grateful if you don't make it available in any other venue, either in person or online.

  • Also, please be consistent in your pricing (so that the pricing you give us is the same as the pricing offered in all other venues, including your studio and/or online) Thanks.

DROP OFF
If work is selected we will send you an inventory form - please bring it along signed and filled out on:
Thursday March 13, 10am - 4pm 
or 
Friday March 14, 10am - 4pm
or at another time on those days by appointment.

(You can also deliver work any time before these dates, just let us know when is best for you.)

PICK UP
Any unsold work can be collected during the week following the show. (May 8th/9th). 


Feel free to forward this info to any other artists you are in touch with who have work that might add interest to our show! 
 
If you have any questions or comments regarding participation in this show, do let us know.

N.B. THIS SHOW WILL FEATURE NEW ENGLAND ARTISTS ONLY

We look forward to hearing from you!

Warmly,
John & Gillian

We look forward to your submissions.
