Selection Process
Up to 30 artists will be selected for a juried show with the auction taking place both in-person and online. Artists' work will be on display either in-person or online beginning August 28, 2025. As only about 15 works will fit in the space, those that are selected for the in-person gallery will be determined by the Board based upon dimensions and fit within the space. All other works will be available and displayed online.
The jury will include 4 artists with expertise in different mediums to ensure a wide range of experience, knowledge, and understanding of multiple art-making processes.
Artist Benefits
Artists selected for the show will receive 30% of the auction sale of their work and one free ticket to the gala. This exclusive event will be heavily marketed on all platforms with a focus on supporting the artist and helping to expand their network. Only 100 tickets are available for purchase by the public.
