Propose an Exhibition

New Visions often books exhibitions several years ahead. We are always interested in seeing the work of new artists. Artists may submit proposals as individuals, as a group, or several artists may submit a joint proposal such as an exhibit including their work organized around a unifying theme. Original works in all media are considered. We mount very few one-person exhibits. Curatorial staff may group your work with other artists working in compatible themes or styles.

Work considered for exhibit will be previewed by the exhibition committee. Therefore it is best to submit slides. We often keep things that interest us on file a long time so use duplicate slides and not your precious originals. To have your work considered a proposal should include:

• 8-10, 35mm slides in a 9x12 plastic slide sheet. The slides should represent a current selection of available work. Label each slide with your name, artwork title, media and size. Indicate the TOP of each slide. Put your name and address on the top of the slide sheet.
   
  If more than one artist is entering a joint proposal, each artist should include 8-10 slides.
   
• Include a corresponding reference sheet listing slides by number or title. Also list the size of each piece, techniques used, materials and retail price if applicable. (Works may be available for purchase, but do not have to be for sale to be considered for exhibition.The gallery receives a 35% commission on consignment sales.)
   
• Include a resume or biographical sketch and artist’s statement. You may also include articles, reviews, or brochures of your work.
   
• Include a self-addressed envelope with sufficient postage to return materials and slides.

Proposals will be reviewed by New Visions’ curatorial staff and exhibition committee.

In general, New Visions pays for exhibit costs such as printing, mailings, receptions, programs, and insurance while in our care. The artist is responsible for incoming shipping, the gallery outgoing shipping. Hand delivered work must also be picked up unless shipping materials are provided.

Please don't request that we review your web site and get back to you. Although it sounds like fun, we don't have time and can not present this to an exhibition committee.

If you are coming to Marshfield and would like to show us your portfolio, please call ahead and make an appointment. We may not have time to view your work if you just drop in.
